Auto Credit Based on Zyvx's Infinite flapper attack (no engine no fuel)
Easy to fly , adjust trim so the wheels are in forward position, slide trim quickly to set wheels straight down. you should see the thing rolling forward slowly. adjust vtol all the way forward for flapping wings. when you pass 60 mph pull up. set trim for max lift or use as needed. to land set trim so landing gear is straight down. throttle down til wings stop flapping to glide. you got air and ground brakes. it is super easy to land it can land it's self. yaw steers this thing at any speed, or roll and pitch. This is the short version of what I had planned. It's original form caused my phone to lag. enjoy.

Hey Zyvx
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/sCcFN9/AIRWOLF
@atgxtg nice, I look forward to see how that turns out.
@Zyvx You will see it, but the idea your dragon gave me is better. We use "legs" with an activated hinge (like I used for the Landing gear for my two flappers), set at a higher power and angle than normal to catapult the flapper into the air all at once. No need to wait to built up speed anymore.
I got a working prototype, too.
@atgxtg thanks, I still like to see your 4 wing version. I like the stuff you did so far.
Nice, and I thought I was gonna surprise you with a four wing butterfly! Interesting way of using the LG to start the Dragon moving. I think you gave me an idea.
