GRN E-Powered Defense Drone

Auto Credit Based on airlinerbuilder's electric plane challenge (closed)

Finally, after much time of development i bring you, this drone, it was designed to defend military bases 24\7 with no need to land to refill fuel thank because it is electrical(and other reason), powered with quantic auto-rechargeable batteries it can fly permanently. It is armed to defend air and ground equally with 2xInfernos and 2xRocket Pods for land defense, and 2xGuardian and 2xInterceptor plus it's good maneuverability for air to air combat. All weapons in AG1
Important: The reason
that the drone is not intended to land is because the electrical engines wont stop inmediatelly after power loss, they need a time equally to the time they were working to stop. I still working on a solution for this problem
To take off when throttle is at 100% the engines need a few seconds to break the rest state and begin to move the plane, they will start slowly but then they will gain speed quickly and you can take off, this does not apply if it starts in the air.
Use VTOL to change engines throttle direction
