Next in the line of develoment is the R5. This is part of my on-going project to see how much distance I can get out of a 500mph+ aircraft (looking forward to the distance + time stats). VTOL full back and then use front nozzles to assist with take off. Climb to 10K ft throttle back to 75% slight angle on VTOL to get nose level...fly fly fly. ....also handles pretty well.
