Modern Tail Sitter

Auto Credit Based on Mastereldo's Tail Sitter Challenge [closed]

My take on the Tail Sitter Challenge. I used a gyroscope to stabilise the plane during vertical flight phases. Instructions for takeoff and landing available in the file. Note that takeoff is easy, but landing is difficult, although the plane can also be landed horizontally
