Auto Credit Based on TheNightmare811's [CLOSED] #VTOL_Challenge

SETTING THE STANDARD FOR VTOL on simpleplanes! This thing is a beast and has taken a while to engineer to perfection (performance and design-wise). Please consider that I have spent a lot of time on this but I just hope you all like it! The current entries for the competition (#Summer2016VTOL) are awesome, check them out as well! Oh yes, this thing actually takes off vertically! It really works and these modded engines have blue exhaust!
