Originally a plane that started just for fun, I tried some new things with rotating engines. The result is sort of a STOL aircraft. AG8 activates the engine orientation, AG1 is extra lights. To take off, full throttle with engines fully forwards. At 100mph, briefly pull the VTOL around 0 and then back forward.

@ChiChiWerx Oh yeah I forgot to mention that. If you move the engines too fast, since the hinges are somehow not fully rigid, you have a bit of a whiplash effect the props hits the fuselage.
Realllllyyyy hard to fly, but a fun challenge trying to avoid crashing...I actually lost the top engine (tips of blades very close to the fuse), but managed to keep on flying...
