The NextGen Corp military version of the NGVT-MkI. This is a revision of the NGVT(M)-MkI in which the VTOL engine has been moved up two levels and the weight has been slightly shifted. Due to this it is now much more stable, can be put through hard corner maneuvers and with the ability to turn on the spot. It's response in vertical take off is different as it now has a slight forward pitch which means no intervention is needed when switching the thrusters into forward flight. I am also proud to say that this is now controllable in hover mode, and I have actually been able to land it like this upright and intact, albeit a little scruffy. To do this drop the engine power to about 70% and direct the thrusters fully down. Compensate pitch with the RCNs but keep the nose slightly up. The further up the slower you'll move forward. You can actually fly backwards in this and with the yaw control can keep the nose pointing backwards while moving at -50 mph. Have fun and please rate.
