VTOL Drone! (For he who must not be named)

8.7 years ago
INSTRUCTIONS: Throttle all the way until the nose is facing slightly upward, and entire aircraft is hovering in the air. Press 1 to lift off! For those of you who absolutely hate "Jelly Planes," just know that there are a few people out there making at least decent ones. They aren't all pieces of crap! I also wanted to test a neat concept and see if I could actually pull it off. This thing is extemely easy to take off and land at the cost of very low maneuverability. Don't try to do a barrel roll. DON'T!

@LeWhaleShark before fuselage blocks, people would make the fuselages out of wings, which would make some really weird flight characteristics. That's why structural panels don't provide lift. Glad I could help :)
@Shmexysmpilot Oh crap, that's kind of stupid how structural panels don't contribute at least a little bit to the CoL. Thanks for letting me know!
Just a tip: strctural panels and wings are not the same thing. Because you made the main wings from structural panels, the planes CoL is so far back that pitching is nearly impossible
NICE!!!
The mechanism is very close to my VTOL jet but you've done it with a propeller!! Good 4 u!!! :D
@riley2002 type it into the search bar
Name it the cow
hey where do you find j's planes
@bskngshrk Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot about that!
@LeWhaleShark of course I know, I was just making a Harry Potter reference. Btw, use the jelly tag
Use the Jelly tag so he can find it
@Himynameiswalrus Do you not know the story about putting his name in the title?
@Himynameiswalrus No it's Jelly!
But isn't "he who must not be named" Voldemort?
