Is it a car? Is it a plane? Yes, both actually. The Volkswagen Sky Golf is the latest in flying design, now in red! I don't want to bore you with facts just yet, so here are the controls.

WASD for aerial controls
QE for yaw once in the air and steering on the ground
VTOL for power to the wheels
Trim for... well, trim
1 for headlights ('cause lights makes you go faster, duh)

After many headaches and three failed attempts, the Sky Golf is finally a reality. With ten thousand horsepower, it's quite fast (faster than I'd planned, but neccecary).

At this point I have run out of things to say about it, soooo...
What have I learned from this, you ask?

Well, first of all; A VW Golf is not very aerodynamic, nor is it particulary easy to drive (and fly, in this case).
Second; Making a VW Golf take off is about as easy as trying to put an ugly christmas sweater on a wild boar.

THAT was all I had to say, good flying!

P.S: Thank you @komuhachi for building this car!
