non-VTOL version here


First attempt at VTOL. Now see I pulled a trick on ya, the VTOL system is using wait for it..... Gyroscope!! I know you guys hate it but it's the only way I can make VTOL work because I'm a worthless lazy scum. What? aircraft still lifting even when you didn't pull the slider and you say its unrealistic? pfft don't worry, it's just some complicated quantum microgravity magnetic field nanomechanics thing, you know? ha hahaha uhhhhh ummm what else I could say uhh yeah I think that's about it I'll see you again until I post another abomination. oh also, all buttons in cockpit that are non-functional are marked as "N/A"

That's it I'll stop building VTOL aircraft that thing is complicated as hell.


Le VTOL guide

  1. activate AG7
  2. slide the VTOL slider way upward (no actually just throttle up the main engine vector thrusting is for decorative purpose only, I'm sorry)
  3. throttle up
  4. slide down the VTOL slider gently
  5. deactivate AG7
