Also mentioned I might try to redo it so the hover thrust/lift controls the craft. Might be harder on this as the blades are all in the center. But they pitch,....

So I found a model to use for the rover. Free to use just no commercial use.

I need to animate and add some parts for the copter. Just going to make the wheel rotate, turn and mast move


and remade the scout:
