Maverick [Hoverbike]

Description
Description
The Maverick is a fast and agile hoverbike designed for speed races just above the ground.
It's completely vanilla and doesn't require hover engine mods to work although you could redesign it to include them.
It hovers in 2 modes: Normal (mode 1) or Upwards Thrust Override (mode 2) (this mode reduces upward acceleration and requires a few taps from the spacebar to stay a float) (choose your favorite preferably before a race)

Details
PCU: 1602
Blocks: 186
Empty Mass: 20540Kg
Acceleration: Forward: 18,70m/s^2 (1,91G)
Up: 37,40m/s^2 (3,81G) in mode 1 or 18,70m/s^2 (1,91G) in mode 2
Sideways: 4,67m/s^2 (0,48G)
Retro: 9,35m/s^2 (0,95G)
Stopping distance: 535m (from 100m/s to 0m/s using just retros)

Hotbar
  1. Toggle Beacon
  2. Toggle O2/H2 Generator
  3. Toggle H2 Engine
  4. Toggle Reactors
  5. Recharge/Auto Batteries
  6. Toggle Retro-Thrusters

  7. Toggle Overriders
  8. Toggle All Engines
2nd Tab
  1. Increase Override Engines Thrust
  2. Decrease Override Engines Thrust
  3. Toggle Neons
To hover in mode 2, increase thrust override until just before the hoverbike flies away
Disabling retro thruster allows you to cruise without turning off the inertia dampeners

Conclusion
You can paint the stripes and seat and in whatever color you like most. Same with the neons.

Careful not to confuse the engines in the hotbar and beware of your altitude
Hope you like this build and cross the finish line first.
