You can set this thing up for any situation. Take the AGMs off and you got room for rockets, bombs and even small yield nuclear ordnance.
Ejection seat right into the propeller, 1/1 experts like
@TMach5 noted.
@MRpingouin Thanks! Deactivating the Gyro (AG-8) will prevent the Drop in altitude. I only have it on during take-off, landing and cruising. Copters are quirky.
@TMach5 nice copter buddy. It is fast. But a glitch happened to me. When I launched the AGM. It flyers up and than to the ground. Other than that it is amazing.
@Strikefighter04 Thanks!
Very nice!
nc!
