"The BeastQuadcopter" is a 100% maneuverable version of my many Quadcopters. All done using no VTOL Modules whatsoever.

As far as I can tell this is the most controllable Helicopter/Quadcopter to date to be made in SimplePlanes. I have yet to be able to land this vehicle once I take off. So if someone is up for the challenge, please go for it. I'm curious to see if its possible.
As always please feel free to modify the design and re-post it. Please just remember to credit Icecoldfire for the original design.

The controls for "The BeastQuadcopter" are as follows:
*Blue rotor caps denote the front.*Orange rotor caps denote the back.W = Forward; S = Back; Q+A = Roll Left; E+D = Roll Right. Q,A,E,D All roll to a specific corner.

As far as I can tell torque is not simulated in the game, so unfortunately there is no yaw control. If you really want to add yaw I'm sure you could do so with the help of a few VTOL Modules. When I started this project it was to make a vehicle with no VTOL Modules so that is the way I'll keep it for now. If I get enough requests I may be persuaded to add this functionality in a later release.

**Warning!! In order to make "The BeastQuadcopter" I had to manually manipulate the "Code" for "The BeastQuadcopter". If you do not know how to do this then you will not be able to manipulate the "Rotor Blades" and if they are accidentally and the undo button does not fix it you may have to re-download the original design.**

I look forward to your comments. Please enjoy.
