Auto Credit Based on weebabyseamus's F-18 Hornet

A stock F-18 outfitted with VTOL capabilities. Quite stable at level flights. Feel free to add weapons, but make sure the CoM and CoT are aligned, or else the VTOL will be messed up. Flight Instructions. For hovering, throttle to 60%. Transition to 100% for level flight. Take not to raise the VTOL to between the first and second notch for stable flight
