Simplified version of the Convair XFY Pogo. An experimental VTOL aircraft. Difficult to take off, and even harder to land. In order to make it fly correctly, this model is unable to take off from the ground, but if you start in the air it flies very well. I would like to maybe add the launcher to this model to assist with actual take-offs, but its for another time once I have a better grip on using rotators. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement! Thank you f for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!

@ESIOTROT121 This one does not do VTOL. The actual plane can, but in order for my model to fly properly i couldnt get it to not flip. I would like to add the launcher to assist with take offs, so you don't flip and crash.
