Got bored and made Gru's plane from Despicable Me. Its thrust vectored so use VTOL for major pitch correction. On takeoff throttle 100% and pitch vtol down 1 1/2 notches then balance it out between the middle and first notch down for steady flight. Takes a little balance but is fun to fly once you get the hang of it. Enjoy!!!

@suika game The design is considered quite complete
Despicable...
I've gotten it to fly just takes balance. You have to shift VTOL down gradually to get it off the ground. I know it's goofy and the balance isn't great but it's from a kids movie. It DOES fly I promise. If you leave the jets pointing straight back it wobbles if they are pointed slightly upward (VTOL down) you can get it to lift off and fly. You just have to play around and find the sweet spot. I know it's not mathematically correct but again, it's from a movie lol
WTF
This is not mathematically correct you have too much weight at the back that's why it spins out of control. Check your centres of mass, thrust and lift. The mass (red) must be I front of the lift (blue) in order for this too fly normally
Did you even test it??? I keep rolling forwards !??
lol
Nice!
