I like it! Also cool how when using it as a boat, the fans consume less energy. You can see the battery consumption go up when you pull up out of the water around the five minute mark.
The standard hoverbike works perfectly for everything, but the speed this six fan ultimate version gives you is very appealing. As for recharging the battery, Recall was what I used most. Just drop for a half-second, Recall yourself back up, drop again and repeat until you're full.
Real Tears of the Kingdom pros use the right leg depo rail to make a 1-fan hoverbike. The version where the rail is applied vertically on the back has some pretty good handling. Of course, this all depends on what your view is on glitches. You need to glitch out the game in order to get the right-leg depo rail in the first place. But, most people who do TotK aircraft design consider that rail to be an absolutely essential design piece in any decent build. Another popular option is the rail bi-plain, which sandwiches 8 rails in a giant grill pattern then builds a bi-plain on top of that, and a cage to contain 2 un-attached fans. Yes, it is important that the fans be un-attached in the bi-plain design. That... does kinda make it harder to make with auto-build.
Crazy design and looks pretty cool! I prefer a trike configuration myself. 2 fans rear one forward just like the hoverbike. This gives you a space and stability for a wayward Korok to transport to their friend by attaching them between the rear fans. Still plenty of power, good efficiency, and good speed while being small enough to land on small ledges without it rolling away as you hunt Korok seeds. For traversal only I think I would prefer your design though!
I had my glasses off so in the intro I thought link was huge as hell while infront of some large as bridge and mini apartment looking structures till the camera paned a little more and I realized “oh it’s the flower bed”
Great question. I feel like when you pull back, you go up really fast as you can see in the video. I haven't tried going to that specific island, if you build this and test that let me know.
I'm literally about to try this. I'm about 350 hours in, and I hardly use vehicles. Not a big fan of the "hover bike". Assuming it flies straight without intervention, it's going to be my new mode of transportation.
No thank you. I'll stick with my Klingon bird of prey. I've had a video out about that a long time ago and it's still what I consider to be the perfect flying machine. On my video I show a series of tests that I put all my flying machines through. The one that you made will not pass all of my tests. Nice video though. The two machines that pass all of my tests I called the Klingon Bird of Prey, and the Romulan Scorpion. I have videos for both.
I watched these, excellent design! I'd say you have me beat on several factors like manuverability, landing on a dime and part count. Thanks for sharing!
