The Reaper Fast Assault Gunship was the result of verry large trial and error period. at the end of all of it, I present you the most unconventional Airship i may ever produce. Stacked next to other planes it maxes out at a measly 490mph, However. stacked next to other Helos, it maxes out at a Astonishing 490mph... perspective is everything really. So as a bit of a how to. The VTOL slider controls propeller pitch so it is possible to adjust altitude under any throttle input value. The TRIM slider, on the other hand will adjust the angle of the port and starboard props. AG1 will activate cruise mode. NOTE simply deactivating AG1 will not shut this off. you must both deactivate as well as throttle back to zero... This design uses twin gyroscopes hidden in the fuselage. it can fly without them but I would suggest gradually reducing there influence in small incriments...i would also like to mention that the YAW authority is in no way affected by these gyros, if you would like it a littlwe less sensitive, youll have to make the necessary adjustments to the props. as always have fun and happy building.
