This is just a silly idea I had, so I thought I'd share.

She's not much to look at, but she'll fly, both forward and backward.

For forward flight, slide VTOL all the way up.

For reverse flight, slide VTOL all the way down.

Set camera to orbit, and try Sliding the VTOL bar all the way into the opposite position while at altitude. It's fun watching this thing flip around like a race car :P

Maybe this concept can be put to use for more complex, multi-directional aircraft. To me, it's just something silly that worked out pretty good.

HAPPY FLYING!
