Yet another VTOL using strictly rotors. This one is much more fun to fly, and significantly more forgiving. Minimum airspeed is higher than the Hummingbird's due to low lift area, but stalls are easy to pull out of if you can learn to get creative with engine pitch. Taking off is simple: throttle to full, bring the VTOL slider back slightly, then slam it forward just after you begin pitching upwards. Warning: I consider myself to be a reasonably good pilot, and I still haven't managed to land it. Good luck!
