A highly experimental working hovercraft with use of the Funky Trees 'AltitudeAgl' flight data input - Base vehicle courtesy of @Lennington


The hover jets take a while to respond to altitude changes, so be prepared for some crashes. Otherwise, it's pretty stable and kinda fun to fly around. Use pitch and the main engines to slow your descent.

Controls:
[AG-1: Hover]
[Roll: Roll and Yaw]


Feel free to edit the xml values of the VTOL engine to make the hovering effect more realistic/reliable. If you do find a 'golden' value that works really well, feel free to share it! :D
