Ka-50!! The US had a contra-prop VTOL machine 50 years ago.

 

Imagine the scene: you’re skimming low over the Russian forests in your Ka-50 with your buddies when suddenly a swarm of these 20mm armed blighters appear from the trees all around you.

 

 

I made it over the weekend using Gmax.

 

Here’s a movie clip of my model in action:

I was quite chuffed to get the contra-rotating prop animation to work, although I think both props should have started to turn simultaneously. No doubt someone will give me a hint where to find that setting in the .cfg file.

 

I meant to fix the elevons using the aileron-daughter-to-elevator trick, but I only remembered once I was making the video.

 

I came up with two flight dynamics models. Neither worked properly.

 

If you fancy a really good Convair XFY-1 model for FS9 get the pogo.zip file at AVSIM by Messers P. Clawson and Rob Barendregt. It uses an excellent XML trick so you won’t make yourself ill trying to transition from vertical to horizontal flight.
