Dont Panic! The dolphins had long known of the impending demolition of Earth and had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger...The last ever dolphins message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backward somersault through a hoop whilst whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner," but in fact the message was this: "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish."

    Thanks. It flies well. But on take off let it do its thing and when the nose pulls up push down a little. It doesnt like slow speeds. Its because the vtol engine screws up the COG. But once she gets going she handles really well. One of my favorites.

    @RocketLL something like that. I wanted a dolphin themed plane. But i think it looks more like a shark. Anyways couldn't pass up the hgttg references.

    Its not entirely unlike a dolphin. Oh and dont yank on the vtol too much or you will do a double backflip somersault.
