It's 3 fans at 45 degrees on a cart with a steering stick.

The 2 dragon spike shards allow it to fly ever so slightly nose up at neutral stick.

Whack a korok on the front as well and it'll just about stick to the ground or water surface!

Take off anywhere and land anywhere! Surprisingly controllable! Get Yours Now!

Looks good. I'm trying to use my engineering hat more and think about different builds. I tend to just try to get a tulin gust or campfire to shoot me up. I need to get more vehicles for sky island exploration and this should help.

Thanks! I've played most of the game very BotW style, more running, climbing and horse riding, as I like exploring everywhere thoroughly, but now I'm just tying up loose ends like koroks and map locations, vehicles have really become more useful!

I use this for everything as it takes off and lands so easily compared to the hover bike or wing style creations.

Dragon shards are power? W H A T ! ? !

[–] ilovecheese 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope unfortunately not. They're just the right amount of weight to get almost level flight :)

Do they offer any offensive capabilities when ramming?

[–] ilovecheese 1 points 1 year ago

Not that I've noticed, but perhaps Dinraal's or Naydra's might.

Another advantage I can see to this build is, with the fan-stick-fan bike it's almost impossible to get it perfectly straight. Mine always seem to veer off slightly, whereas with this triangular design I imagine it mitigates the drift?

I highly recommend [](this video), to help with building a straight one. Bit of a pain, but I can fly in a straight line while looking at my phone now!

Thanks, I'll give it a watch! My current 'best' attempt lists badly to the left haha. Oh, it seems there's no link, did something go awry with your formatting?

Dang, yes. I even tried deleting the comment and reposting lol. Such is the struggle of beta apps. Not doing anything fancy this time.

They make it look simple, am sure it will involve some trial, error and swearing! But this looks to be the way, many thanks.

[–] ilovecheese 2 points 1 year ago

This is true, it does fly nice and straight and pretty level, which the bike type never does!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

2 fans with a steering stick in the middle. Front fan 45 degrees down and back fan flat like steering stick works great. Stays flying straight but if you pull up it will fly straight up in the sky and uses less power than the 3 fans you have attached. Highly recommend the sky bike life!

Haven't tried it with the flat back fan yet, will give it a try!
