ALSO you can submit more than one plane \ heli
@letsgofast11 Thanks
@ArgentumFen it can drift forward
@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.
@JoeAdkinson13 umm lets say by December 1st
deadline?
