ADDENDUM...THIS IS NOW OUTDATED, MK2 VERSION ON MY PAGE. NOW WITH ADDITIONAL PAYLOADS, BETTER CONTROL, MORE THRUST AND COOLER PAINT.
here we have the evolution of my sky crane idea. shes a stable flier if kept off the stall. vtol works beautfully (100% throttle take offs fast, transition to foward flight, 47-52% throttle is good for vtol landing). with paratrooper pod. hit detacher 1 to drop the door, detacher 2 to release paratroopers, detacher 3 to release pod. might need to wiggle the troops out as there very scared. more cargo loads to come soon.
*please rate, comment and check out my other contraptions*

4,857 Katrina@RanceR save the payloads as sub assemblys (for later use) then trash the 3 your not using. That frees it up and it shouldn't lag.9.9 years ago

4,857 KatrinaThanks for checking her out @scriefers I would fit more engines but was having issues with the balance. I like to say she is a cargo copter, and as such isn't a fast aircraft and need flying with care and Delicacy. Makes her more fun to fly, and more satisfying when u get it right. Will be uploading 3 more payloads tomorrow evening. Keep an eye out for email. Kat.9.9 years ago

25.5k ScriefersPretty damn clever! I like the idea of different payloads. Stable vtol and easy to maintain balance with rcn's, but it could use a little more thrust when in flight mode to avoid stalls and spins.9.9 years ago
