Stabilised Tilt-Rotor Gunship

Block Count: 268

Edit: Fireworks no longer work, I'll get round to fixing it sometime

This is a heavily armed, 4-axis, stabilised, octa-rotor gunship, loaded with 10 bombs, 12 fireworks / missiles and a powerful crane. This machine features four dual tilting pairs of rotors, this keeps the body of the craft quite stable, ideal for lifting loads or precisely dropping a payload on a target.

This machine uses the tilting mechanism used by the Redstoneman in his a-98 Serpens Quad prototype, which is one of my favourite machines, so check that out here. [forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk]

Controls:
Up and Down keys: Tilt rotors forward or back for forward or reverse motion
Left and Right keys: Tilt rotors left or right to roll the craft (not really a roll, more of a strafe)
Q and E keys: Tilt rotors to yaw left or right
L shift and L ctrl: ascend or descend, this value can be increased if you want more lift or speed, or decreased if you want more minor adjustments
R and T keys: Launch fireworks
0-9: Release bombs
F key: Change views, tracking view, payload view and cockpit view
N and M key: Raise or lower crane
V key: Release stuff held in crane

Tip: The reaction wheels are reasonably slow, if you want a more reactive craft adjust the motor wheels :)
When maneuvering the rotors will tilt, which means the craft will lose altitude, in order to maintain the same height, small bursts of thrusts should be used to correct your height, this can also be used to increase speed.
