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.
Phew... I saw the title, and got worried for a second there that maybe somebody already designed something like my "Project Apache" Then you said an hour or something and I was like hahahaha, ok. My journey to create a functionally effective Armored Flying War Machine has undergone countless phases and dozens of prototypes. Zonai Experiments are a huge percentage of how I play this game, and emulating the functionality of an Attack Helicopter has become the centralized goal of everything I do with it. The Apache Dragonfett is my latest model, and every single time I deploy it is magnificent. Storming through hoards of enemies, and I've almost gotten a design which is capable of defeating a Gleeok. I will reclaim the bridge over Lake Hylia, but I need to tweak the Flight Dynamics a little bit. Certain older models didn't have weapons or armor yet, but defined my ideal flight patterns for as close as you can get to a Helicopter. It's certainly not as fast as yours, but I'm not trying to make something for traversal. I want a Warship. I want Air Superiority. I want something that theoretically ANYONE could jump right into, and obliterate their goes, and I'm getting close.
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.
It should be mentioned that if you're one of many people who like to use the headlights on your vehicles, they're useless, since they consume power and add weight. Just throw a giant brightbloom seed, or attach one to an arrow, and stick it to your vehicle if you want to explore dark places.
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.
Mine flipped over when I landed in water, and was just far enough from the shore that ultra hand wouldn't reach it. Thank heaven for ice fruits! This is a fun one to ride!
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!
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 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”
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!
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.
This flight vehicle is a lot more stable, in flight, than the hover bike. I can actually enjoy flying all over Hyrule without having to adjust the controller the entire time.
Finally… Someone makes a video that doesn’t involve the hover bike.
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.
Oh wow, I didn't even notice that!
I got super frustrated with the wings and balloons disappearing on me. Then I figured out making a drone gets around that!
Yeah, I don't understand why they couldn't at least double the wing duration. I can almost never get where I intend to with that.
lmao the bit where you charged while bokoblins got ready to attack only to skidaddle right after
I was not expecting any of that, so glad it was captured!

That is fancy, never tried it!
I use the Hover bike even though I personally dislike it. This is an amazing replacement. Thank you sir.
I'm so glad to hear it!! Thanks so much for checking out the video!

Good feedback, the headlights are so cool but that's a good option if you prefer performance.

Mate is pulling some Ace Combat moves here
This literally made me laugh out loud, thank you!

Well in my other video I updated this build, still no rail but I think you'll find it far superior to this design.

@@tphillips37 you must have been coming in hot!
This deserves a sub
Sorry, you can't make underwater vehicles in TOTK ;)
Awesome !
Aaahhh this is amazing, thank you 🙏🏼
@rcartertoe Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.
A sled, three fans, a steering stick and a light, a little bit slow, and slightly power consuming, but quite versatile
Save a tiny bit of energy by just throwing a bright bloom seed at the contraption instead of the light.

Interesting, that seems practical. This one does tend to roll away a bit on landing if you aren't careful.
Nothing can beat the hoverbike.
You should check out my other video 😉
I think the hover bike is still my favorite 🎉
Does this flying machine have good lift? Can it get you high in the sky so you can get to the star-shaped island above Lookout Landing?
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.
Would a sled work too?
I noticed it was a bit heavier with a sled, but it would probably work better for landing in the snow or sand.
I use 3 fans, 1 light and a steering stick.
The light enables the machine to be put together quickly and perfectly without any guesswork at all.
Also loved your Assault Vehicle!
@@LetsPeteThank you. I appreciate that.
I like the horses... but my batteries are not good yet
No rush! The horses are lots of fun too 😀
A steering stick, 4 fans, 2 lights, 2 construct heads, 1 stake, 2 to 4 cannons/beam emitters
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”
Oh wow, I see it now! Hilarious 😂
very good video 👍
Thanks so much!
Can that thing be armed?
Perhaps, but because of the constant forward motion I'm not sure how effectively you could fight from it.
I wish they didn't make the glider wings disappear with use.
@TrentTube agreed, I can't think of a good reason for them to dissappear since you can easily make other vehicles and fly anyways.
Has anyone noticed that he made it seem like a ad 😂
🤣

It definitely does! Really nice for cruising around. It feels like a totally different way to explore and play.
1.5K views, but only 63 likes & 8 comments? Something's not right with this picture... Nice build though.
You got me, I watched it 1,400 times :D
buut the batery..
Gotta get that zonaite!
@@LetsPete wah :
Yup. The batteries should be taken into account.

@mosehaydid4736 I agree and appreciate the feedback. It's perfect for cruising at long distances and really helpful in the depths!
