I would say first apply the damage as normal to the body of the vehicle. If
it blows up, the sensors really don;t matter. As for secondary effects you
might reduce the Flux of the sensors yb maybe .5 per 2 successes. Off the
top of my head, and I would need to take a look at the numbers when I get
back to the R2, but a good starting point. This would represent blown
circuits, degraded sensor aperatures, that kind of thing.

Most aircraft in general are made from either aluminum (or some derivation
of) or some kind of composites. Steel is for the most part to heavy for
aircraft.
>Anybody seen decent stat's for small fixed wing craft?
I thought there were a few in the R2 that were good. And you can always use
The Shop. I'm sure James will post the address in a little bit. :)
>How about ultra-light rotorcraft?
As in a gyrocopter? Never saw anyhting on those. Tough because it has 2
power plants.

No, they can make you move faster but cannot provide actual lift to a
character. If the character is sustaining a levitation spell, however, the
spirit could provide propulsion.

See above.

I'ver played that they don't. Others play that they do. I'll have to check
if they updated that in SR3.
