This is one of my more complex projects, perhaps not as complex as my flight Simulator, but this one definitely required a lot of fine tweaking, to the point where I saved it as another project (hence the "MKII"). I'll probably never upload the MKI because of the number of handling issues and structural problems it had, making it unable to fly, even when pulling off basic manoeuvres.

This project doesn't get off lightly either though, due to a few minor structure problems that might be sorted in the future (so handle with care!). Take off is easy enough and only requires use of the throttle and the VTOL slider which provides control of the wing position. Just try to avoid hitting the tail off the ground! Also, activator 1 is to retract the legs. And good luck trying to land! Anyway, happy new year and until next time, happy flying!

    @Akshay25 took a long time. I started it last week and have been doing bits and pieces for it since.

    How long did this take to create? I'm really curious, because it looks like it would have taken a ridiculously long time

    @Akshay25 Thank you very much! I don't think I've ever constructed something that is just for looks, I'd feel like I would be spamming if I did! XD

    Hey man, I tried this out thinking it would just be for looks. Even if it was, you did an amazing job, but to my amazement IT ACTUALLY FLYS WELL!!! Great job mate.

    @Jasperjl thank you! I might get round to making a more mobile friendly version, but I'm currently working on another project.

    Making a Hex-copter thing that I can actually fly! (Most ones I've made seem to fall out the sky after take off due to handling problems!)
