I wanted to try making a VTOL plane using rotators and usual engines. I think I did a decent job with this aircraft. It also doesn't have the RC units so you'll have to handle the plane with only the rotation of the engines, but it is still fairly stable, especially if you keep the throttle around 60%.
The name comes from the shape, like the greek letter phi in the central part, with 4 engines.
Controls :
-AG1: brake chute
-AG2: lights
-AG3: drop auxiliary fuel tanks
-AG7: drop missiles
-AG8: VTOL rotators (on by default)

Using Sarpanitu's collision-free landing gear components. Thanks, man !

    @VertolTycoon7588 thx for the advice, however gyroscopes were not implemented in the game when I designed this plane. Feel free to create an improved version.

    This aircraft is very cool.... but you need some improvement with a flight control, try adding gyroscope will be very helpful.... If you don't know how do gyroscope control aircrafts movements.... you can take a look at quadcopter that Jundro provided for you

    You can also take a look some of my VTOL Drone, Try to view my profile
