This airplane folds up and still flies. It functions as a boat and plane, and it flies both unfolded and folded. It is hard to handle, but I could not do any better and still have it fold. VTOL to fold.

    Fun to fly and mess around with the folding mechanisms...very creative. It is a bit hard to build up speed and take off though, and kinda hard to control when folded.
