This is for @TheNightmare's VTOL challenge, you guys should check it out!

An almost 1:1 scale F-35, with functioning VTOL. This thing flies better (and costs less) than the actual thing!

**INSTRUCTIONS**
TAKEOFF
-VTOL up all the way
-Throttle to 10-15%
-Once high enough off the ground, slowly bring VTOL bar to the middle
-Raise landing gear and throttle to 100%
LANDING
-Lower landing gear
-Throttle to 10-15%
-Slowly VTOL up
-Throttle to 7% and begin descent
Hope you enjoy!
-John

    You said 10-15% throttle meanwhile just in 3% it takes off the ground and starts rolling here and there and flipsover stuff what i do is vtol all the way up 3-4% throttle and then struggle to keep it stable and then finally slowly lower the vtol and then gear up and increase htrottle and then it flies perfectly so just the vtol part isnt the best so pls fix it thx

    @Isse it does! There's the naval model that has a specially designed engine nozzle that can aim down for VTOL and for the air force it can somewhat rotate for extra maneuverability the F-22 has this thing as well.

    I don't think that the F-35 has thrust vectoring but ok.

    @RMark1 I will think about adding a custom cockpit to my f-22 in progress! I would add a custom logo, but I try to make my models as realistic as possible, and modern planes usually don't have designs like that. I will be attempting a ww2 bomber after the f-22, and I will try to add a custom logo. What do you mean by costom weapons? XML? Weapons with details so it looks like the real thing? Good suggestions by the way.
