Auto Credit Based on Mickk's The strange spinning experiment
The final 'experiment'. This does actually work, but exactly how, I'll leave you to find out. VTOL controls pitch of the 'blades', if the blades are tilted one way it will turn clockwise and it will go anticlockwise if tilted the other. The ends of two of the rotors (opposite sides of course) have small wings. Up and Down will cause the same thing to happen as the VTOL controls, but the main blades will stay flat. Guns are there mostly for decoration. A 'safe' landing speed is somewhere under 150 mph without using the engine, figuring out how to do it is going to be half the fun. TIP: Make sure your rotation speed does not get too fast. ;)

Forgot to mention, the shocks on the landing gear have been maxed out, that is why it can 'land' at over 100 mph.
The guns are there for reasons. :P
Interesting fact: Except for the two winglets on the blades, there are no other actual flight surfaces on this 'aircraft'.
You need to be up pretty high for this to work properly.
A good height to start from is over 30k, it gives you time to make mistakes and recover.
It will take some time to go very high as it has a single motor.
There have been zero mods used in this.
