So I've been messing around with the beta realease and I think I finally built something I'm happy with. Use about 80% thrust for initial take off. Use pitch for forward and backward controls. Use yaw for turning and pitch to stabilize. Please rate, comment, and have fun!

Dev weebabyseamusUsing the top view image as reference, Connect the rotator roll mechanism where the small jet engine touches the yaw rotator block, and make sure they aren't touching anything but each rotator block and mount the new rotator block to the fuselage as the base for blades9.8 years ago

5,241 XWINGHey thanks so much for the tips I don't really understand what you meant with the other rotator but I get the VTOL placement. If you would Id appreciate you posting your modded one so I can learn for the future thanks so much!! @WeeBabySeamus9.8 years ago

Dev weebabyseamusI like the way it flies, but I have a tip. I rebuilt this design to be able to work solely on the VTOL nozzles and no RCN. If you add another rotator attached to the Yaw rotator so it pivots on the back set to roll, you can make it roll from the rotation. Also attach the 4 VTOL Nozzles on the Blade housings.. I put one in the front on the inside, and one in the back inside on each side. then you have to balance the weight so the center is within the middle of the blades. hope that makes sense. I wont post the one I tweaked out of respect cause I rather you get the credit, but I assure you its possible.9.8 years ago
