VTOL test

Auto Credit Based on simpleaerospace's Designer Tutorial 1

A creative VTOL airplane, made from a simple contraption and a few XML tweaks..It’s fun for exploring, and messing around, until you crash it.

I don’t expect this to get many attention. it’s not my best project, but it was sitting in my saves for a hot minute.

Please note taking off is quite hard, but when you get used to it, it’s pretty easy, but unrealistic.

Modify it as you wish, Happy flying.
