[VTOL] The Navarro

[Krackit]

I've been trying to make a proper VTOL craft for ages and I finally have one! It's stable, easy to fly, and can be heavily armed for maximum fiery enjoyment!

The Naverro!

Armed Varients

*It is quite heavy with the railguns so vertical takeoff is tricky to do. I recommend having the engines only turned halfway, including when attacking, instead of complete hover mode.

The Naverro makes for an excellent assault vehicle as it is quick and maneuverable when flying horizontally, yet it can change into hover mode mid-flight allowing for easy aim and good accuracy when attacking ground targets.

Enjoy!

Nice craft Krackit, well done

Don't forget you can modify your posts if you need to add more to them as well.

It looks nice, but I don't think it needs that many wings, especially the tons of vertical stabilizers in the front of the craft. That could go wrong very quickly!

At that point its looks over functionality! Plus they help shift the centre of gravity!

But there aren't even any control surfaces in the front, how does it shift the center of gravity?

Just the weight of the pieces. Without them at the front the thing just flips backwards when trying to hover. It took tons of slapping on random bits to balance it! Im sure there was an easier way, but it works

have you tried arming it with the Sunbeam? be less bulky than the Railguns....

But they are not as awesome...

I wouldnt mind seeing a video of it flying ..

Really? trailing a beam of light that makes stuff go "Boom" isn't awesome?

[Tim_Barrett]

I don't know, I just have that awesome feeling when you hit a target with a solid projectile. Beams are too slow for me.

Just a personal preference I guess. The particle gun mod is also good, but has shorter range. Did I forget to mention how much I love missiles?

Shame it uses mods
