    @letsgofast11 So is it fine when it hovers that it moves slightly forward as well but is hover-ish or only hover, no forward movement?

    Okay I'll submit one VTOL aircraft. Also have 2 helicopters that hover without rcn.

    @Stingray it doesn't have to be stable

    Withdraw my question. I could post a "popular pretty military helicopter" that crashes seconds after takeoff/hover. It might get 20-30 upvotes if looked pretty enough. I don't build those. I build flying models that work both vertically and horizontally. Will consider this challenge, if you clarify stability (e.g. completely stable vertical, and also horizontal). "Hover" is vague w/resp to SP models -- just look at what gets posted.

    Define if 40 feet of runway movement while blades spin up count as VTOL to you. Whatever I post here would be VTOL, STABLE (you left that out...anyone can post a heli that goes up 20 feet, then CRASH). 99% of stops posted just crash.
