This was more of an experiment than anything else but its fun to fly around once you get the hang of it, careful about going full throttle and just keep in mind to control the throttle when flying vtol. CONTROLS- Trim=engine direction AG3=activate weapons (cleavers/boom 25 cannon) use yaw to help turn when flying vtol. Big thanks to Khanskaya for modding the engines to be lighter so they dont vibrate into oblivion.

    @Captbadass You have done it well, many details sometimes spoil the general set. The program is called a SIMPLE-planes . ;-)
    Good work in calibarating the gyro, fine balance between control and strength.

    @Viper3000ad Thanks for the upvote and tip. I never quite got this one to fly the way I wanted it too so I'll try with a new version eventually. Id like to get better at detailing like your builds but I'm not much of an artist haha.

    Hey I missed this! Nice, a proposition for another model is to set the rotation of the engines in the vertical axis with VTOL. I believe that is easier this way. Keep up the good work
