Description:
This is a design I was working on a while back and never posted it for some time. Originally it was a helicopter, but I got tired of flying helicopters so I put two huge VTOL Engines on it. I was also playing a lot of Elite Dangerous, so the Lakon styling shows in this model. It is not an easy craft to fly. It prefers slower speeds and it flies well in VTOL Mode. Be prepared to adjust the trim in flight more than you would a fighter. I may develop this one past the Beta Phase, but I'll see how it goes. Feel free to test and comment.

Very nice 🔥🔥😍😍
@Karzigg Good to see you too man. Been going through flight school, not easy or fun in the slightest. Kind of makes we wish I took the normal option sometimes. By the way, I built this one with you in mind. Figured you'd like the excessive armaments and armor. The front Armor is at 1000 HP so it's good for dive bombing targets with guns. You have.
Good to see your still on site
Excellent work
He strayed away from the traditional white and blue paint job...
Nice!
Great build as always
