A gyro-stabilized space fighter style VTOL with a REALLY cool folding wing design. When on the runway, trim down all the way to "jump" onto the landing gear. From there, throttle up into a good hover and neutralize trim to put wings in flight mode. Now, just ease the plane into forward flight like any other VTOL. Once you hit 200mph turn off AG8. This stops the Gyroscope and locks the wings so that trim can be used traditionally! This one came together quickly and easily, and left a lot of room for cool visuals (Su-47 Berkut with F7C Hornet aspects). Hope y'all dig it!
