In a world ravaged by nuclear war, one man will live in a shipping container on twinkies and canned food. He will move said container from place to place using a highly modified Skycrane. He will defend his castle... container... with a stolen WWI Browning machine gun and a reapropriated GAU "minigun." He shall thrive!
About 50% to hover. Should be stable at a hover, with gentle application of directional control. To transition to forward flight, full throttle, VTOL Up to rotate the rotors forward a little bit, full aft trim, rotate more as airspeed increases.
AG1 drops container.
AG2 Allows rear suspension to be adjusted.
AG3 activates rear MG and roll/yaw MG control as well as the container doors which can be opened or closed with Trim.
AG4 activates Minigun controls VTOL and Trim.
AG8 deactivates Rotor Rotation and gyro. Good luck.

Hi
That is a very good question. @jlewisifer
@Awsomur how could a good backstory not involve either a hobo or a shotgun
This whole backstory kind of reminds me of Hobo with a Shotgun. Just Google it.
@AdrianFlyingAce lol
@jlewisifer np
@TheNightmare811 thanks!
@Rugpeersdude thanks! Definitely a cool challenge concept.
@jlewisifer this thing is cool! Very unique and easy to fly. Could have used better implemented weapondry though. The rear gun tends to make the whole build blow up. Lol.
8/10 for ease of flying
6/10 for looking the part
5/10 for special features
2/10 for defenses
For a total score of: 21 points! Nice job!
@Rugpeersdude thanks
@iPilot no worries.
Oh. Sorry.@jlewisifer
@iPilot uploaded the other build from my tablet, downloaded, then put finishing touches on it from my computer that's why there are two.
@jlewsifer yep.
Did you copy this build whole build and add a new paint job?
@destroyerP thanks!
@BroAeronautics nothing says machine gun in a shipping container like ACME
Acme.
