Vertical take off without a VTOL engine. Select D-1 before launching. No landing gears so grass landing only, just deselect D-1 before reducing throttle then land conventionaly. Does take off from grass with good piloting skills. Press restart if tail falls off.

8,104 LofiTurtleI mean, it's a good try but it just faceplants when you throttle up. I've tried it with act. 1 on & off and it does the same thing. To make a working VTOL plane you need to have the CoT directly on top of the CoM or else it won't work. It also isn't a very maneuverable plane once it is flying9.2 years ago

20.2k Aginuzo@PlanesExpert just activate D-1 again after landing to take off again. VTOL Requires the engine. This is vertical take off only. Also VTOL engines are too heavy for this design9.2 years ago
