I'm not sure if this has been done before...But let me introduce you to a fish that can actually propel itself through the water by natural mechanical motion of it's tail. Simply wiggle the VTOL bar up and down a bit, and it can get up to speeds close to 40 MPH! Move the bar to the top or bottom while in motion to change direction, but swimming forward is best accomplished with a lighter touch. Be sure to upvote and comment...Hope you enjoy! PS, no reason to use the control surfaces... They are there just for cosmetic value,

@dazzamax Nice! I figured it could go faster than in my initial tests with it, but I wanted to be a bit conservative with the numbers.
