Auto Credit Based on XxUnknownLegendxX's X-wing
Proof that you can make most thinks fly if you add enough thrust! Reworking of this plane with altered control surfaces, better alignment of COM/COL and added vtol power (don't think it had any nozzles before) now flies on about 15% power, roll on the runway and swing the nozzles down (to lift the nose) and then back to forwards to take off careful of going too fast or being harsh on the controls as it snaps quicker than a dry twig. Yaw isn't sorted and the nose wheel could do with making turnable.
