Auto Credit Based on EnderWiggin's Powered Parachute Challenge
This small cargo drop powered parachute can fly for a very long time using just its four variable - pitch propellers. it can climb easily to 1000 feet, do a loop (if the pilot is good), and drop cargo AG 2. Parachutes are AG 1. Be very careful taking off, as it tends to pitch forward a bit. I suggest 3/4 VTOL up and 100% throttle. Landing is very possible, hold throttle at around 70% and adjust VTOL to keep reasonably level. Cut throttle immediately after touchdown, put VTOL all the way down, and throttle up to about 20-30%. DO NOT USE BRAKES ON LANING. YOU WILL EXPLODE.

LOL, yeah you're the first taker. Powered parachutes are tough to build and not exactly the fast, fun and agile aircraft most people like to design. Anyway, great job!
