Extendable Passanger Connector for WA 12-25
This addon to Whack Al´s WA 12-25 Flying Carrier was specifically made to make docking from bigger planes much more easy. I started making this after several trys of connecting pretty much everything mid flight to the Flying Carrier.
Not many Builds felt like they were made for exactly that when really trying it in practice. So for easier docking, I copied the rail runway base on top of the Carrier to extend and even added more connectors.

How to use
Because the base of the Arm can only be spawned one block of the actual carrier it might sometimes not propperly connect. After spawning I strongly suggest first getting into the carrier and activating the magnet and opening the hatch from the inside because the hatch of the arm will automatically open when connected.
The arm can be lifted even before liftoff.
I designed the electrical magnet infront of the top hatch to be as a better guide to connect to since I believe it will be easier to connect to, thats why the opposite aircraft should have a piston or similar to also extend an electrical magnet and the retract when connected.
Issues and future fixes
In my testing the remote controll usually worked but in some cases just doesnt when in the air, im just now figuring out how radio signals work in game but im getting there.
I also want to change the design a little bit and even add a wing to stabilize the whole arm.
The MagAll are currently not connected to anything that is because im not too sure yet on how to make them enable automatically. The walkway of the arm is usually no problem to get thru although it might happen that the player can glitch thru the floor but im working on changing the top and bottom connections of the arm too.
