Auto Credit Based on MinutesTanker's Tail Sitter Challenge [closed]

Yet another stab at the tail sitter challenge. This time, I think I've nailed it! A throttle assist now makes vertical landings a breeze, but I've retained the parachutes from the MkII, just as an alternative method. As with the previous iterations, the plane can be landed horizontally as well. Let me know what you think.
