VTOL to cross wings to make x. The x shape noticably reduces drag, allowing it to fly over 500mph compared to the 450 when they not crossed. Use trim and don’t roll too fast otherwise it explodes. Enjoy!

@XxDannehxX physics low might fix it (no promises)
Yes @TTHHSSSS I’m running High Physics
Wow that’s bizarre. Can’t seem to do that with mine. Are you running high settings? @XxDannehxX

Hmm @XxDannehxX
@TTHHSSSS I was going full roll while the wings were swinging, and sometimes it would go in a Death Spiral when the wings break
Interesting, can’t seem to replicate the problem... @XxDannehxX
It’s more of a concept demonstrator, but thanks for the feedback @XxDannehxX
Found a problem, if you roll and swing the wings around, the wings break
