The U.N.A.M (United Nations Aircraft and Munitions co.) Riptide is a VTOL semi- gunship produced as a trainer for the larger Gladius Gunship (coming soon!........ Maybe!) but due to it's high speed, versatile platform status and long range it went into combat service as a lightly armed scout aircraft in 2053. Armed with three GT950 machine guns (two winged mounted and one on a front swivelled turret) it can also defend itself if needed. ///CONTROLS///. Take off power is 45% power, when switching to forward flight move VTOL veeeeery slowly and make sure power is below 60%. Trim is to elevate and depress forward mounted gun. Have fun! Also check out my mate Jetgaming, he has some cool stuff and is just starting out, so he could really use some support. Adios!!!

Very cool, though the elevators seem a little big for the wing loading. Also, you should use the nudge function (shift plus QWEASD) to squish the cockpits of things like this into the fuselage - Makes them look less floaty.
