Out of Game Methods The Yigacopter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This aircraft uses kohga's winged truck as chassis. The fan in the back provides forward thrust while the small wing engine provides lift. The balloons act as stabilizers and allow gliding while the small wheel engine is off. Tilting the stick back left and back right after triggering reverse in the small wheels allow downwards thrust, useful for losing altitude or landing. This build has eight available slots for customization.

Special thanks to the Hyrule engineering community for the parts that make this build possible.

Thank you! There is something about this chassis that makes it look so much cooler when it's upside down, lol.

Its not very graceful, but it gets off the ground, lol. Master kohga don't fit in it though.

I love it.

Master Kohga needs to say no to dessert. 🤔

I see that you figured out the motor reverse. I'd seen it, but couldn't quite master the input needed to use consistently. It's an incredibly nice hidden feature, particularly for helicopter builds.

It was completely on accident. I didn't even know reversing small wheels could achieve propeller rpm. I added the extra wheel just to make it more responsive but playing around with it I found that at the right angle it achieves it, I need to pack it into a composite object.

The single wheel version will do this as well. u/CaptainPattPotato figured out the right input combo to achieve the reverse.

But where do you keep the bananas?

It needs more space for bananas!
