Inspired and based off one of the first four-engine jet-planes, the de havilland DH106 Comet. Pull VTOL back to retract landing gears front 3 landing gears. Certainly flys well but my simpleplanes is being very slow so I need feedback on takeoff. Be warned, its VERY maneuverable. Especially pitch and most of all Yaw. Do decrease control surface size if you need to.
