Another Luft46 design. Designed before the war as an early VTOL concept. Although a very novel idea, the design never left the drawing board. I still have some kinks to work out and some detail left to add, but I wanted proof of concept. The new gyro feature is pretty helpful, I have to say. VTOL rotates the wings up. Recommend 60% power for a gentle take-off. As you increase throttle, slide VTOL down gradually until you have the wings lowered to flight position. Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement, and as always, thank you for stopping by to look and enjoy your flight!!
