Auto Credit Based on Katrina's Pelikan 2050 Quadcopter (drop ship/sky crane)

here we have an improved version of my Pelikan, now with better control, additional thrust and a better paint job. plus 4 additional payloads. she flies stable if a little jumpy, vtol is balanced, but as u can imagine diffrent loads affect her flight charcataristics

To fit the payloads, first save the loads as sub assemblies (for later use) then rotate the vtol engines out of the way, spit the craft in half at the black blocks, remove said blocks and replace with the desired payloads. join the pelikan back together and rotate the engines to there original position.

TANK, detacher 1 to drop the tank gently, detacher 2 to fire it off, Tanks mount is flexible, leading to some intresting occilations in flight

PARATROOPER POD, detacher 1 to release the door, detacher 2 to release the troops and detacher 3 to drop the pod. Troops and door might need a wiggle up n down to release as there very scared

BOMB RACK, detacher 1 to release the bombs, detacher 2 to release the rack

FIREFIGHTING BOWSER, detacher 1 unlocks the dip hose, detacher 2 drops the hose and detacher 3 drops the water tank, ive tryed to dip the hoses in the ocean and failed, let me know if you suceed in "filling" the water tank

let me know what u think of her, or any new payloads you would like me to try and create.
*please rate, comment and check out my other contraptions. Thank you*

    There's talk of pontoon floats coming in the next update. Maybe you could make a little rapid response type raft then? I think a lot of people will start making boats when the update comes.

    Glad you enjoy it @LoonyBin it does take an expert pilot to master Her, do you have any susuggestions for additional payloads
