MixMaster Torpedo Bomber (Steerable)

2,636 Phaz3Shift  8.5 years ago

This plane was designed to carry some special torpedos I designed. While I was slapping parts together, I thought "This sort of reminds me of a Cessna Skymaster!" Anyway, the important stuff: The plane has the rudder coupled with the ailerons (like an Ercoupe). Yawing affects only the torpedos. VTOL controls the torpedos' throttle. Yawing and changing the throttle still affects the torpedos even after decoupling, so you can steer the torpedos! Steering isn't too effective, but it's better than nothing! There are also two of the big bombs on each torpedo, so one can sink the USS Beast. See it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7zB6Ny5EVw&feature=youtu.be
