Guess the person who made this originally deleted it, I was hoping to tie it together and give credit where it's due, but I can't find it now.

Anyway, I didn't make the body, but I tweaked things to improve the flight characteristics and handling. Added trim via VTOL slider so that you can get it to fly level at various airspeeds. Water or land takeoffs and landings are a breeze. Stalls around 120 MPH.
