Easier to control than the original. Replaced control surfaces with stab-jets. VTOL only. Crashes nose-first if normal take off attempted. All controls as normal.

Re-balanced new CoM with CoT.

As well as originally being an experiment in VTOL, it was a test to see how to hide parts that I didn't want shown. The answer was actually quite simple.
