the Kickfin is an experimental VTOL craft produced by XCorp, which lost money in testing. this aircraft, although still dubbed as experimental, is as balanced as they could get, although horizantal flight stinks still. it's so lightweight you can get it taking off vertically at around 1/3 power and have stable flight before hitting 40% throttle! Has been in 12 field tests for performance, and about 20-25 total development flights, mainly tweaking balance and control.
