Pure VTOL. Easily passed the Short Take Off challenge for USS Tiny. Don't slam throttle into full thrust for take off. Ease into the vertical take off. After vertical lift off from the ground (or carrier deck) use pitch while adjusting nozzles and throttle for forward movement. Flies over 2300 mph in level flight while on full throttle. The trick is VTOL landing. Reduce throttle down below 10% and try reversing the nozzles for powered slow down while aiming for your landing target. Can you land back on the USS Tiny? Successfully survived the SAM Evasion challenge using this plane.
