    @JoffahSanno Thanks, check out the revised version too for slightly adjusted aesthetics and 'vents' that open in vtol mode

    @Authros, that's exactly what I do as well. I also have a version that starts in forward thrust mode that I use more as a STOL. Only real difference is that when you switch to vertical, the air brakes deploy to simulate opening the top intake.

    I really like this VTOL set up. The small engine has a different power output the the VTOL engine so you can control the level of pitch with just the power input control. I found 41% thrust was about right for level hovering. Nice work.
