In 1909 after 10s of days battling Glenn Curtis over the rights to the monopoly of manned flight was won by the Wright Brothers, their 1 hit wonder became mainstream in aviation! Thankfully logic prevailed and we did not have to use this behemoth to win anything. It flies like a plane, elevators are used by trim only, propeller pitch with VTOL added but not necessary for successful flight. Enjoy!
