Some shots from the test flight....

Overall.......fun and, in my opinion a little more of a challenge to fly (especially landing, it will not land like a helo......but, has an extremely low stall speed) than I expected. On the other hand, the transition from (near)hover to level flight, or vice versa seems kind of "funny" to me, and the VC leaves much to be had (hence, the lack of a screenshot from the VC)....does anyone have the Wilco Tilt Rotor? How do you like it?
Thanks 4 looking

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Well, at least it looks good Chuck. Love those first two shots.

Yes, I have the Wilco, and I love it. VC is very nice, and it flies extremely well, easier than a chopper to me. I can hover, fly sideways and backwards fairly easy. The only downside I can think of is very minor. You have to

remap your throttle axis to propeller axis before flying. But it is just a short delay to flight. And if you forget to change it back, you will immediately remember the next time you fly something else when you advance the throttle and

nothing happens. Roll Eyes

I highly recommend the Wilco. I have five repaints for it uploaded too.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Crap, I was hoping someone would say it sucked Angry

How is it on the frame rates?

Um, it can get a bit sluggish in places with boucoup buildings, heavy clouds, etc. Normally, I have little problem with it.

Excellent shots. Cool
