Auto Credit Based on RAF1's Soviet Challenge!

My entry for the soviet fighter challenge. It's a VTOL plane. Because of the relatively small size it can be hard to control when taking off and landing vertically. For this plane a gyro gizmo would've been really helpful. There are five different cameras on board.

    That's a real Russian plane! I call it the Russian Harrier.

    You made a plane that actually flies, which is more than can be said for the real life version, which tended to drop out of the sky.

    Sorry, that was directed at him, and I was implying that you made the Beta plane... The chat got sort of confusing... @kikasshes

    I might let other people make new planes, but he already has a Beta plane (this one), and the competition ends tomorrow. @kikasshes

    @kamikaze The update might come out tomorrow, so I'm sure @RAF1 would let you make another entry with the new parts.

    @RAF1 its kinda unfair because us non beta users cant build better looking planes than those beta users
