*Note; Not for the Coldwar Challenge!*
This tilt rotor aircraft was designed by my grandad. I have reconstructed the aircraft in Simple Planes for your enjoyment! It is pretty easy to fly and quite nice to look at. Here is how to fly the aircraft properly; VTOL up for rotor tilt. 50-60% power @90* for vertical takeoff. 100% power @45-50* for cruise... Enjoy!

    Not bad for 90 pieces. One gripe though: switch the input for the engine mount rotators from 'VTOL' to 'clamp(VTOL,0,1)'. Otherwise, if you slide the VTOL slider backwards, even by mistake, the props will hack into the fuselage and self-destruct.
