This Was the First Successful VTOL, and They STILL GAVE UP... SO I BUILT ONE

Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I am recreating the Convair XFY Pogo. Despite never making it to full operational production, this plane is credited with performing first successful VTOL flight in 1954. It was actually very proficient in flight and could even outpace other aircraft at the time, but the difficulty of transitioning in and out of VTOL mode made it too risky for the average pilot.

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

Other problems were that it was intended to be used on small ships by the Navy (which meant hitting a relatively small deck instead of a big airfield, and on the high seas where it might be pitching about) and that because it was propellor driven it wouldn't have been able to fly as fast as jet aircraft.

Could be a bit tough to replicate some of these. The sizes of the parts and wheels may not be well suited for videogames. But I think your expierience with that and the other "slight" benefits you get with video games should counteract that. :D Would be glad to see some of this stuff recreated. Not less than your suffer and joy in the process of recreating them. Just check him out. You will like what you see. ;)

I feel like you could have attempted an emergency landing by using similar methods to the rotojeep from the other video, but simplygetting upright would be difficult, I think really the best method of landing overall but especially in an emergency is if they packed a parachute into the nose con and made the nose cone interchangable, then it could land that way every time and they remove the nose cone and replace it with another one repackaged with a chute while they pack the other nose cone back in for later use
