Flying fire truck Bizarre competition

443 Miniplanes  7.5 years ago

My entry for the bizarre competition by BogdanX. I made a pretty neat fire truck, then thought to myself: "what could make this better? Wings!" And it was done. 8 to deactivate engine at the back so you only use wheel power and be careful on takeoff - if it begins to turn to the side on the runway then very slightly roll it, and rotate the push forwards to stop it from flipping at around 200mph. Oh yeah, and you can turn the ladder left and right on ag2 and move it up and down on ag1. If you flip on landing, use the ladder as a self-righter. While in the sky never make any aggressive maneuvers, imagine you are flying a baby or something. Put out any sky fires! Good luck!

    @BogdanX believe it or not I tried it quite a few times in the air but I guess I forgot to add the weight I took off when I had different engines on it that made it flip. Thanks for the feedback though

    @EternalDarkness oh well... I tried
    I'm not particularly experienced and can't mod so it won't be up to standard for a while but it works in theory

    Let's see...
    Visual: 3/10
    Construction: 3/10
    Functionality: 2/10
    Creativity: 4/10
    Impression: 1/5
    The truck is fine. Wings are ugly, just strapped on with no design. The thing it difficult to control both on the ground and in the air, and thing like this would be useless in real life.
    @BogdanX , you asked me to judge. Well, here's a judgement. 13/45
