Auto Credit Based on BeastHunter's Stupidity Challenge [CLOSED]
This is definitely the most flight capable submission Ive had so far. It is very labor intensive to fly, and it has to be spawned at a pretty high altitude (10,000 feet will do). Instead of having ailerons like a normal plane, pitch and roll is controlled by lift from the helicopter blades (which are unpowered). VTOL up=roll right, VTOL down, roll left. After you spawn it goes into a steep nosedive, pull up pretty gently until the rotors get sped up, and then get it level. Dont jerk the controls or it will go into an irrevokable spiral or flatspin.

@X99STRIKER with a great deal of effort and dedication yeah lol
I kinda love it now.
Weird thing is, it is actually fly able.
@BeastHunter lol
@BeastHunter thanks!
I commend you. Getting this absolute monstrosity to fly takes greater effort than to actually build something useful. I love the broken controls, and the horrible looks. This thing is incredibly stupid, and that’s why I love it.
@MashMellow I had that problem alot where it would stall out no matter what. Dont use the rudder at all period and when you pull it out of the dive you cant just pull back all the way you have to gently bring it level. Its extremely hard but if you get it just right it will actually fly surprisingly well. Other than that what do you think?
@NobleMobileUser Nope but i managed to control it before stalling to the ocean
@MashMellow did you get it to fly? Lol
@BeastHunter
@NobleMobileUser perhaps…
@X99STRIKER lmao! I honestly was just going for a spotlight atleast, or a memorable comment lol. Winning might be a bit too far, but honestly Im pretty proud of this, especially that it actually flies. You should have seen the contraption I attempted to build to luanch it. It made my game lag horribly but it never worked properly lol
@NobleMobileUser I’ll let you know if I get it fly
@NobleMobileUser honestly this deserves to win… I just can’t even look at it.
@X99STRIKER well dang lol. I have tested it extensively and it should fly. Once you get it into stable flight it actually isnt too bad except for the constant little adjustments on the vtol slider
@NobleMobileUser honestly idk if it works I was to busy hating it.
@X99STRIKER lol yeah. I forgot to make the entire thing the same ugly shade of faded red
@X99STRIKER lmao does it work? One of my earlier submissions worked for me but not beasthunter
@NobleMobileUser actually no I regret not gouging my eyes out this is so ugly.
@NobleMobileUser XD #no regrets. yeah it barely let’s me edit my bio anymore… I wanna add more.
@X99STRIKER as I said it is capable of level flight, but it requires constant adjustment. Make sure to read the instructions, and if you cant get it to fly let me know. P.S. I would follow you but literally every single time I go to your profile chrome crashes.
