A challenging plane that does it all. Capable of VTOL and normal float-plane type take offs and landings in the water! Go easy when transitioning to forward flight from a hover. Getting a little forward speed will help a lot. Fun little plane that is great for everything from island hopping to VTOL carrier landings.

    Nice, did you know you don't need to have the vtol engine fitted to your plane? As long as it's beside it in the build area it will still power the nozzles. Might help you with your stability issues. I did it for my vertilightning and it turned it from a brick to a flyable a/c!
