Pls read system describtion below. No read, no fly.

Quite pleased thought I share.

V-22 Osprey carrying small tank with gyrostabilised turret with guns and canons that can be dropped via parachutes and picked up again. Tank and V-22 can be steered independently (Pay attention to AG's so you don't steer the wrong thing). Main cockpit is on tank. Custom camera Nr.2 is chase cam of V-22.

Systems:

V-22 Systems:
AG1: Activate cargo door (Trim: Up -> Open)
AG6: Activate flares
AG7: Rotor power (Trim: Up -> Power up, Down -> Extend parking brake piston[On steep surface lower cargo door for additional brake])
AG8: Main Steering: VTOL, Rotor steering and collective pitch, Lights (Deactivate while steering Tank to avoid crash)

Tank Systems:
AG2: Detach tank and trigger lead parachute (Deactivate before AG3)
AG3: Trigger main parachutes (Also enables signal flares on tank to locate it more easily for pickup)
AG4: Activate Tank (Turret [Pitch -> Trim, Yaw -> VTOL], Steering[Pitch, Roll])
AG5: Magnets to fix tank after pickup (Park nicely or you loose balance. Reverse into V-22)

!!! Be gentle on power during VTOL transition from heli to plane especially with low airspeeds. (Rotors pull pitch down and tail stabilizers don't work yet. No problem plane -> heli)
!!! When dropping at high speeds wait for tank to decelerate before activating main parachutes. (Wheels will rip off if you don't)
