A fun build I've been working on. Inspired on the many scifi dropships/gunships out there. This beast is a heavy lifter with VTOL take off and landing, opening rear ramp, movable side turrets, and launchable heavy rockets.
Group 1 for VTOL engines
Group 2 drops 'gear'
Group 3 and VTOL opens rear ramp
Group 4 and VTOL moves side turrets
Group 5 fires rockets
Group 6 fires rockets and rocket pods, with VTOL, closes rocket arms
Takeoff: Throttle to max, pitch forward. Engines take a bit to spool. At 500ft use group 1 to rotate engines for forward flight and drop gear with group 2.

16.2k LordofLegoLow. I had it on high for a while, but I turned it down yesterday to eliminate lag. I pitched forward and rolled right, but it didn't help much.9.4 years ago

16.2k LordofLegoI wait for the engines to spool, then it rolls to the left and tips back, flies backwards a few feet, and smashes into the ground.9.4 years ago

39.6k maverickvii@lordoflego really? Don't know what to say, works for me every time on all settings, maybe just be patient as engines spool.9.4 years ago
