Project VTOL V4

Most likely my final VTOL test. I might make a good VTOL plane in the future, but this is what I got for now.
HOVER:
Around 52%
CONTROLS:
VTOL to turn the engines
Trim for flaps
AG8 for RCS thrusters
When taking off, use 52% throttle and go up about 100 ft. Then slowly move the VTOL slider up. When landing, just slow down and land like you would a helicopter.
The plane can go around 480 mph, or around 772 kph. Those struts under the wings help for no wing bending when pitching up at those speeds.
Also, sorry for the crappy fuselage. I just couldn't find the right design for this build.
Thanks for all the support and suggestions!
