2nd Plane with the simple VTOL designs, The Convair Model 200

Some say it's a precursor to the F-35B's VTOL design as it predates the YAK-141.
For the life of me, I cannot make the swivel jet work properly, so I improvised...
Very flimsy on the VTOL because it does not rely on a Gyro part. Suggest you make slow movements on throttle and VTOL control because the engines spool Up & Down rather slowly.

Planning to do more simple VTOL designs, so stay tuned for more!
