Decently fast, mostly stable. Tricky to land.

Runs out of fuel pretty fast at 100% throttle, but I can't add much more without upsetting the balance.

Not really VTOL, but kinda has thrust vectoring.

    Excellent stability and control. You can use the VTOL for pitching.

    Flys well! The actual SAAB 35 had one of the tightest turn capabilities, in it's day.
