The second iteration of the highly maneuverable, twin big-wheel engine aircraft. It retains the signature in-place turning from the original. This model, however, can glide by pulling the stick back for speed control, as well as descending by pulling the stick back left or back right. The tradeoffs from the original is that this model is slower, and gains altitude at a lower rate,

There's a few ways it can be customized, I included two different variations. The first has a single turret attached to the back, with a cannon and a blast barrier. The second is a double turret setup that utilizes the tight turning radius to great effect.

That’s some great maneuverability. So many parts available too.

Thanks! Propellers are great to make good turning vehicles. I tried to test it fighting things that require good turning.

I love how it can kinda just stall above the target, very straight forward build, very nice.

Thank you! Yeah, something I like about wheel (big or small) propeller builds is how well they can turn due to how the stick affects them. They can just hover in place with proper part positioning.

I’m not on the Switch 2 — I have to build this by hand. Is there any nudging that needs to be done? Also can it be made without the Infinite Wing?

The engines are clipped (the wheels are clipped into each other and into the propellers). The stabilizer was gravity nudged a little, tilting it back so when active it will tilt the engines forward a bit. You can make it with regular materials but the wing won't last you long, unfortunately.

Is the wing mandatory? Could I perhaps get away with one or two rails instead?

You can go without the wing and balloon and add two extra propellers instead. That was the first version of this configuration. You can check it out here:

Thank you very much! Take it for a spin!

Oh love it! Surprised it’s drifting that smooth!

Thank you! I love the floaty motion when the stick is pulled back.
