3D model description

Build this 1/18 Tricycopter "Killer Bee" drone H-VTOL (Hybrid Vertical Take off & Landing) vehicle for your 3.75"action figures! This is an original concept vehicle inspired by the many emerging full size quad copter type passenger aircraft presently being developed .

The Killer Bee is a light weight hydrogen-electric powered vehicle that can travel by air like the many multi rotor flying drones nowadays, and by land with its 3-- wheel all electric drive train, The propeller housing rotates 90 degrees and rotor pylons retract towards the fuselage for a narrower profile when traveling in land mode. Top speed by land is a mere 60km/hr with a not so exciting acceleration speed not even worth mentioning. It is basically a small sedan on road. The passenger driver, however, can hop towards their next destination literally on the fly with the push of a button. Flight mode compensates very well for the low running speed on land. Fully powered, the vehicle has a maximum flight time of 2.5 hours cruising at 160km/h, and, with VTOL capabilities- can go practically anywhere .

3D Print and build this model for your 3.75" action figures! When completely built, the models is fairly detailed with many moving parts, The Propeller housings flips 90 degrees and retracts towards the fuselage converting from flight to land mode. the wheels and propellers rotate. The front landing gear retracts, and the canopy can open and close. one can fit an adequately shaped 3.75" action figure as the pilot/ driver. A fun 3d printable concept vehicle toy that will complement your collection.

Assembly is required.
Use superglue to stick parts together.
Refer to the not so detailed picture instructions as guide.
Use 1.75mm filament as guide pegs and hinge pins.
