Working on a new ride, The Enterprise:

I'm almost certain that you're a danger to society.

Also, I have a really stupid idea for a ride...

Tell me, I'm interested.

I also am interested to see this idea come to life! Plus I don’t think kerbals think there’s ever a stupid idea.

I was going to PM it, but:

A working helicopter with something like this as the rotor (Bonus points for doing the tail rotor as well):

A helicopter is a nice challenge, haven't done rotors before with robotics.

The tail rotor is going to be the real challenge I guess...

TBC

Started the project, looking for some form or shape to work with.

[Triop]

I tried some things, but the motorized washers just seems to weak to get us airborne...

I guess I'll wait for the new DLC to do this project, too complicated for me now.

WE NEED LIGHTS !

I'M BLIND !

Agreed. And it's going to be fairly aerodynamically sophisticated. This is where I was going with the idea, BTW.

[Triop]

That.....Is awesome.

Keep me posted on this project please.

Cool planes, I might "borrow" that...

You should do a dual  rotor  gets rid of the torque that spins you out of control. 

 no way is that a  2020 mars ticket?!

What does torque do ? I'm a noob.

Well if I posted mine it would have my real name on it which is a big no-no!

It’s a little long but I think should explain what happens to a helicopter. 

If you used two counter-rotating rotors the spin from each will counter out the other.

Interesting stuff, I'll work on that.

But for now I'm still hooked on designing rides...

[Triop]

My new ride: THE KRAKEN !

 

 

[NBDesigns]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!

 

Now that is a ride

[FleshJeb]

@Triop Why are you so darned handsome.

Seriously, that was brilliant and magical.

Thanks, guys.

I'm planning on replicating my rides when the new DLC is out, so I can share them as stock on X-factor Kerbal-X

If I knew how to program servos I could make swings.

Many more ideas for rides, I have...
