    I think I am going to make two categories, modded and no mods, because the modded planes are way inthe lead.

    I withdraw the comment. My best vtol designs work very well, but look ugly. You are looking for pretty, so this not a challenge for me, then. My XB-90 goes vertical immediately with throttle-on and levels out, but that design is a bit too extreme for most of the SP community. Thx for the reply.@Thedog

    It was meant for a different contest, So I am not sure if I qualify.

    Can I enter my Phaeton? It is technically a VTOL, It just doesn't fly like a plane.
