It's a 1:1 scale Pelican from the Halo games. Anyway, it kinda works, which is to say, it doesn't. The body is mostly good, but the propulsion system and balancing needs a lot of work. Work that I am not patient enough for. If anyone else wants a crack at it, go right ahead. I'd love to see this monster actually fly. AG1 engages the 8 primary drive engines. The VTOL engines are always on at the moment.

@PositiveAnion Good plan! Good luck.
@Sunnyskies I plan to completely strip the engines, and smooth it out from there. However, right now I need to get some sleep.
@PositiveAnion Very nice. Another thing; You may need to add additional VTOL engines to get enough thrust to lift it.
@Sunnyskies I have experience with VTOL craft already. Just check out my Helicopters!
@PositiveAnion Go for it. Just beware, the COT takes into account ALL engines, so it won't represent the thrust distribution of the vertical thrusters.
I'm gonna ballance it if I can.
@Liquidfox Thanks. I wish it flew as good as it looked though. lol
