This time it's an actual aircraft, something I've been fiddling with from the start. That big wing allows the low powered engines to get it off the ground and keep it flying. 50% power and it rises quietly off the ground. Seems to be very stable, at least as far as I can see. Probably make a good camera platform.

Not very complex, but it works. It will get off the ground at lower power settings, but the rear wheels tend to lift first, followed by the nose wheel. The plane then noses over just a tiny bit and bounces the nose wheel, but it will still get off the ground, but it's a bumpy way to do it. :p
