Back To The Future-inspired VTOL Flying Car
No description needed, but flying this thing is no easy task. Controls: AG1+VTOL=Wheels, AG2+VTOL=Propellers, AG3=Car Engine, AG4=Propeller throttle control, AG5=Gyroscopes (for ease of flight). How to fly: Take-off: Activate groups 5, 4 & 2, then throttle up and pull the VTOL control down slowly to smoothly transition to forward flight. Then, deactivate groups 5 & 2 and activate group 1. After the wheels have retracted, deactivate group 1. Landing: When approaching landing spot, activate group 5 and back off the throttle. Then, activate group 1 and move the VTOL slider to the middle position, then deactivate group 1 after the wheels got into their normal position. After that, move the VTOL slider back down again and activate group 2, then move the VTOL slider to the middle position. For a smooth landing, adjust the throttle to your preference and try not to crash! Having successfully landed the craft, deactivate groups 5, 4 & 2 and congratulate yourself. Driving: Control the speed with the throttle, but don’t give it too much or it will go crazy! Use yaw to turn and brake to brake.
