Read description fully for flight instructions. I made this plane because i was reading on wikipedia about the XPLANES and found some tailsitting aircraft xplanes. The burst fighter just happened to be loaded up, so i adapted it. It has better tailsitting standing and a takeoff high power rocket. TAKEOFF: Retract landing gear, throttle to 100% and make sure to try to keep vertical, press group 1 and fly normally. Be gentle on landing, the rear bottom fins give it bad rear ground clearance. Its a VTOL withiut VTOL components or rotators

    @Authros Slave one is a tailsitting aircraft, getting a straight takeoff can be hard I found in testing... You may need some takeoff landing stabiliser.
