Driller Concept

25.4k Sutairs  8.7 years ago

This build was inspired from BaconEggs Experimental wing design

But with this one, the "pod" or the drill as I call it on this build is rotating when you fly instead of staying level. It acts as a drill, you know, to drill space and stuff.

It flies surprisingly well for it's design

    @BaconEggs I've always wanted to do this i just don't know how to start. Your build helped a lot! Basically what I did is I attached the "drill" to a forever spinning rotator on a free spin rotator which is attached to the main body, then I just hid it. It is actually really fun to watch how it works, when flying you'll see the drill spinning the opposite way the exposed rotator is.
