A pretty cool VTOL craft I cooked up using the fuselage from my D-4 'Anaconda', as shown here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/mZ1P02/D-4-Anaconda-Attack-helicopter
This is my submission for @KtaAviations VTOL aircraft challenge: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/CtDnzL/TEMPORARILY-CLOSED-VTOL-Aircraft-Challenge
It uses thrust for a substantial amount of lift, making it highly versatile, but not very fuel efficient.
Features:
- working ejection seats
- Gyro less auto-stabilising RCS thrusters (using funky trees)
- working canopy.
AG1 - RCS toggle
AG2 - Ejector seat
AG6/7 Canopy open.
Flying tips: I recommend adjusting the engine angle in flight using the VTOL slider for trim, using this you can achieve optimal flight characteristics.
(Yes i forgot to paint the throttle area)

@KtaAviation Ok sure!
@Lee24 Can we be friends?
thanks
@Susimposter I use the blueprint feature, and take screenshots of the blueprints.
Walv!s made a really good video explaining how it’s done here:
