X-Wing v1 VTOL

My first real build in SimplePlanes (100% stock, no mods) so can certainly be improved. For a start, it yaws slightly to the left for some unknown reason. Still, it is flyable and generally works quite well.

A rapid roll while pitching and then rolling the other way may break the wings off so be careful.

Action Group 1 are the VTOL thrusters.
Action Group 2 controls the wings.

I recommend deactivating one action group before activating the other else you may get quite confused.

Comments welcome!
