Another experimental aircraft dealing with ways to have planes turn tighter and take off faster, aka: flaps. This has proven something of a success. Flaps in the rear of the wing have been given trouble, but flaps in the front have worked fairly well. () VTOL slider up for proper flappage.

I forgot to change the flaps from 90 degrees when I was testing it initially. For best performance, make it 35 degrees. Combat flaps are a quarter of the way up the slider, take off flaps are half way, and landing flaps are all the way up.
