This is the result of a project I've been working on for a few weeks now. It's changed quite a bit since I first started it, as it started out as a standard quadcopter. Somehow though it managed to gain two extra sets of props and some small wings. This is designed to be easy to fly, with a certain degree of accuracy. Obviously, it's unlikely it will ever be as user friendly as a standard aircraft, but it's a lot more controllable than it was when I started out! Use the VTOL slider to control forward throttle and braking. The standard throttle control is for the actual rotors and provides no forward thrust control. And yes, I fully intend on making a weaponized version of this! But until then, happy flying!!
