from land, move trim to set wheels forward. quickly move wheels to straight down position. the dragon should be rolling forward slowly. move vtol all the way forward to flap wings. lift off at 60 to 70 mph. set trim for max lift, landing gear will go up. to enter water just glide and use air brakes to land in water. dragon will dive deep if wings are not flapping. adjust vtol to half speed with trim to max lift to surface swim. fins will appear. vtol max and continue to pull up nose till dragon flies out of water. to travel around ground, repeat takeoff steps but vtol half speed or less. yaw will steer really good in flight, rolling or swimming, due to his gyro and back fins. This is a agile dragon that I could fly him through the bridge with ease and mountain paths by using yaw and adjusting speed. I landed on mountain tops, and used rolling down to get flight speed. with practice, you can go anywhere, and if all else fails, roll into water and launch from there. enjoy

@MDippold1995 that would be cool if you did manage a vtol version. I just uploaded the better version of this one, in my favorite black and purple colors for the infinite series. This new one does not need to flap it's wings to float, but flapping wings and dive can go under water. To surface just stop wings. No more getting lost underwater. This might be the last that looks like this, I got some ideas that will take this series a whole new direction. I will upload prototypes to keep giving people stuff to try out. But my final goal will combine my walking lizard and flyer abilities successfully and get them to look a certain way. For now I got new mech legs in the works.
@atgxtg yes actually, I tried combining this with my infinite chopper. The thing worked to get vtol take off, and then the wings flapped gave it momentum, but it did not work as good as the two projects do separately. But I do plan on trying again later down the road as I like the concept.
@MDippold1995 That would be tough. Basically it would need to provide enough lift to overcome it's weight. I think that would require a wing on a shaper angle that could extend more on the down sweep.
There is a VTOL flapper that uses the landing gear to catapult the vehicle into the air, but I don't think that's quite what you mean.
Have you considered a hybrid version? I did up one with a prop, and it looks like the wings are about the equivalent of 100hp each.
Favorite one yet. Makes me wonder if I can make a vtol version of this
