    That it would! @srduval - you'll see when I post mine it's a rather different beast!

    @Engini Thanks. As a side project I will see if I can get a better landing performance. Would be cool if they added an arresting cable to the carrier

    Meets all the challenge requirements - although landing on tiny is a bit tricky! Best so far none the less

    Well, I got it on - more of a controlled crash down the side but it was undamaged! :)

    Like the wing pivot , gets a bit washy and I'm always going off the end (unless I crash into the tower) :/ - what speed you flying at at the slowest manoverable with how much on the VTOL?

    @Engini yes uss tiny. I managed to do it once. I have a hard time getting lined up with the carrier for a final approach. For landing, you can throttle way down and use the vtol to pivot the wings to compensate for the lift

    Hi, when you say carrier - did you mean the small one? USS Tiny? (This is the one in the challenge) - I've struggled to land this on there, can you upload a video :)
