Mickks Drone

2,284 Mickk  5.7 years ago

A fully flyable version of the Drone from 'Launch Plane'.

No wheels, so landing will be a bit tricky. :P

Take off is easy, let it accelerate past 100 MPH then fly up.

The other, sort of fun way, is to let it shoot down the runway until it hits a bump.
At that point it will accelerate very rapidly because it is airborne, if only a tiny bit.
Will take off from pretty much anywhere there is a hard surface, even Carrier Tiny.

Controls as per normal.

Interesting fact: The only XML done on this is the fuel tank, the control surfaces on the wings and the little end bit on the tail.
Everything else is 'stock'.
