The AT-99 "Scorpion" Gunship is a VTOL ducted fan rotor, Mosquito-class targeting and missile launch platform. Outfitted to escort shuttle landings and take-off, close air fire support for military operations and air support for mining operations, the Scorpion is the gunship of choice for the RDA on Pandora. (Description form forum)
Left Trim to move the front guns.
Right Trim to retract and extrend landing gear.
[Key1]: Navigation lights
[Key2]: Night lights
[Key3-6]: Manual launch for Air-to-Ground missiles
[I recommend flying with your mouse for easier control of the aircraft]
This thing takes a little bit tricky to fly and it takes some getting used to. Do not turn when hovering or else you will enter the death spiral unless you are high above ground. From what I have seen, this is the first true ducted fan rotor gunship. There arent any assisting jets or what not helping this thing to fly. Also I am sorry about the lack of detail and armorment; I had to keep the aircraft light so it will fly correctly. Hope you all enjoy!
Edit: Just realized one of the front wings holding the machine guns arent symmetrical...if you fix the one on the left and then it wont drift to the left.
(P.S. Rohan's cockpit isnt used in this creation)
Credit to the modders out there, if it wasnt for them this creation wouldnt be workable.

@Arnold You honestly just have to practice flying it...idk how good it is on mobile but on the pc it is way easier in expecting.
And I just tried the new helicopter and I just found out it wasn't good asi I thought it would be 😢😡
That Looks Awesome😀
@Shotgunsrocks I tried what I suggested, but found it didn't work very well, however I still improved the control scheme a little. Check out my Packee-2a for details.
You are welcome. @Shotgunsrocks
@Shotgunsrocks oh I'm now boarding my plane so I'm signing out now
@Shotgunsrocks the company that raided pandora
@Qwertybattle Its all good man, im sorry that i thought you were hahaha. my bad my bad
@theshadow0222 I didnt do what you proposed because I wanted this aircraft to be as hands free as possible. That means that you dont have to move the mouse around to control thrust and every little control because that brings down the overall performance of the aircraft. Also it would not be as easy to fly and you would have to memorize quite a few keys just to fly it properly. I would like to see you build something like this and see how it flies with your control settings!
@Qwertybattle The Night thing is a glitch. And i didnt know the name of the Trim before.
@Smasher Huh?
@KINTARO Thanks man!
@Shotgunsrocks it belongs to a certain company I would drop a newk on em
@BlueCobraplanes
Pandora as In James Cameron's Avatar
@Qwertybattle
I would not be so critical. As long as people understand the controls, id say he did fine.
This is very easy to fly, you did an amazing job.
Hey, this thing is pretty cool, just a suggestion though, use the vtol to adjust the thrust of the propellers seperately so you can better control the roll of the craft, and move the landing gear to thrust or something. The rotating machine guns are nice and all, but I think better controlability is imperative.
@Shotgunsrocks yes now i remember
@AceOfSpade Definitely! i will try to make it happen soon
@AstleyIndustries oh yeah i see in your creations haha
@dogspit hahahaha thanks man
@cobalT Thanks man!!! i really appreciate it (:
@Potkuri Yeah its really funky but the AI some how know how to manuver it smoothly in dog fight mode some how :\
@BlueCobraplanes Do you remember the movie called Avatar that came out a few years ago? i got it from them.
Could you please make the Samson SA-2 please?
