Auto Credit Based on JShay's Last Great Jet Challenge by JShay

Entry no. 2 for JShay's Last Great Jet contest.

In order to avoid crashing horribly, be sure to use the VTOL controls to move the rear tailplanes. They're horizontal most of the time, giving you basically zero yaw stability. I recommend about halfway down for taking off, and then fully down once you're clear of the runway, but feel free to experiment.

If anyone actually manages to land this, you deserve some sort of medal.

    @JShay yeah I love the look of downward-tilted stabilisers, I was determined to make it work one way or another haha. Thanks!

    Very creative! I really like the idea of having the stabilizers on rotators, and that they rotate down. Great work and innovation!
