Some minor improvements to the first version. In this version the VTOL controls the nose assembly that lifts up for loading. As you probably figured out, I experimented with building the body out of nose cones. Power up to 100%, then trottle back to 70% aftertake off. This plane will do 550 mph and it is big, so fly it like a big plane (not a jet fighter). Still a bit nose heavy. I'm releasing this so you can all learn these unique build techniques. Rate and comment if you like!
