F-35 vtol

F-35 STVOL but can be vtol

I just adjusted old F-35. Here it is:

I made it a bit shorter (it was longer than my F-22)

Craft link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/q068r4

VTOL:

Set power a little above 1/3 and hit "1" & "2"

Before you take off, toggle gimbals (hit 4) and turn SAS on.

Move plane to fly toward. If you can't pitch down, hit twice "1" fast.

Ascending: a little more than 1/3 power*

Hover: 1/3 power*

Descending: a little less than 1/3 power*

*1/3 = first big line mark on speed clock (it's not 1/3 of real power)

If you starting to lose control:

Can't pitch up - hit twice "2" fast

Can't pitch down - hit twice "1" fast

Keys:

1 - Front engine (vertical)

2 - Rear engine (vertical)

3 - Main engine (horizontal)

4 - Toggle gimbals for vertical engines

Why toggle gimbals? When ascending/descending, wing <control surface> moves plane at other side than engines gimbals moving. For example, you want to pitch up. Wings allow for it, engines want you to pitch down ;d

wow that is awesome! Download?

[Mareczex333]

Soon. I need to adjust it, because it's exploding sometimes when loading.

[iDan122]

Holy frak that is awesome!

Don't worry about it exploding, part clipped ships sometimes do that.

We need a replica airplane thread!

I'm hoping my F-15 is included. :3

[zekes]

hey, would you like to come work for Zokesia Skunkworks? We need active people and your F-35 is ingenious!

[Mareczex333]

Thanks, I was working hard on it, but I'm trying to improve it (crashing at runway)

Send me a private message with more info. What I would be doing as a member of Zokesia Skunwork.

[Mareczex333]

Craft fixed. No explosions Link updated. Have fun!

[TechnicalK3rbal]

The real f-35 isn't VTOL

Just saying.

It STOL

[RocketTurtle]

No. STOVL.

Short takeoff vertical landing.

[Mareczex333]

If I change name, it would be fine?

To be honest, this plane is hard to ascend or descend without moving toward or backward. It can descend in one place, but 0.5 m/s , so I can name it STVOL

[Madarch]

Amazing. You really got the look right!

[TechnicalK3rbal]

It still does look really cool, though.

[Mareczex333]

Have you ever flown one rocket turtle?

It still does look really cool, though.

I was focused on image and flying perform. I wanted it to be manuverable, stable, don't crack up in x4 speed (it still can fall apart) and be consisted with smallest amount of parts.

Take out the vtol engines, it would be much faster. I builded not VTOL version first. After 2 days I applied vertical engines.

[TechnicalK3rbal]

No. I like it. I just realized that you didn't say it was a replica f-35, you called it in f-35.

[Mareczex333]

I wanted to make replica. You should say if I achived "replica level" or no, but I worked hard on this craft, to achive that . I can add another engine, but i would need to adjust vertical ones. I'm tired to do that now, but i will update it.

[Canopus]

You guys seem to forget that the actual F-35B is indeed VTOL capable if not fully loaded.

[RocketTurtle]

Meh, right, I just keep reading things saying it's STOVL, sorry.

[iDan122]

I agree, your F 35 is replica level. I might fix the VTOL for it, it looks very cool. I don't really mind wether it is VTOL or STOVL.

Fix? What do you mean by that? I need to admit, that Vertical Landing is not so easy if you try to descend in one place (but it's possible. It's need some practice) It's much easier if you are descending when moving forward 5-6 m/s. The problem with falling in one place is that there are two vertical engines placed in length rather than in width. Why it's a problem? Because some of <control surfaces> are placed diagonally to make craft flying straight(horizontal) without SAS. So if it is descending in one place, <control surfaces> tilts plane and power of tilted engine from above tilt plane more. Sorry for english mistakes. I hope that you get it I can be wrong with that what I said. I'm noob ;]

[XArbaX]

I've seen used your f-22 and f-35 but I don't get it that you use the "Wheesly" vs the "Whiplash" in your planes, i mean they would be much faster and that wouldn't be a problem, right?(correct me if i'm wrong)

[sal_vager]

Hi @XArbaX, take a look at the date, the last activity was 2013!

The Whiplash engine didn't exist back than

I better close this as it's so old, the craft are totally out of date.
