Here's my take at the future of warfare. Up until now I've mostly done replicas but I'm getting bored and trying to branch out.

This drone was mostly made as a study in thrust vectoring but it's also fun to fly. VTOL adjusts nozzle pitch up to 45deg and group 1 will activate fuselage engine vectoring for short take off. Beware, twitchy under 500MPH.

Not the fastest, best flying or well armed but a good thrust vector concept.

    Only problem: I little to much on the pitch. Everything else is perfect.

    @TheDocHoliday Ya I started with the Yak 141 and went from there. F35 would be cool.

    @Austinowen You have to do some clever rotating of the blocks ie. place it transversely and then rotate it in to place.

    I know sound like pledge, but how are you making the nose cone merge with the plane and it not turn red?
