Title: Flying Fiero?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on February 08, 2018, 07:21:37 pm
What would it take to make a Fiero "fly"?  I got to thinking about this.  Thrusters, lift, a bit of navigation control?

The problem is accomplishing this while retaining the stock look.  I believe that the stock controls could be used.

Probably the first step would be to make it nose heavy instead of tail heavy.

Yeah, LOL, because it wants to go backward, and steering into any kind of wind is not possible.  Heck, keeping course in a wind is not really possible.  I'm not really sure how to deal with that.

If you could get Elon Musk to put one on top of one of his rockets, you could send it to Mars. ;)
