The NextGen Corp military spec version of the NGVT-MkI. This has more power, a lower profile, internal wheels, VTOL thrusters, 2 missiles and 6 bombs. Before rating please give this hybrid craft some decent amount of flight time to adjust to the style of flying. I have spent hours flying this around and it's very enjoyable, especially the looks. It's capable of performing flips and corkscrews (best performed above 3000 ft) and has a really smooth VTOL take off, but alternatively can be taken off on the runway like a normal plane automatically lifting at 150 mph. Use the thrusters and/or power to level out, and use more power on turning with pitch (and yaw for assisted turning) to reduce decent. When landing, best to land like a plane but with full power and using the thrusters to decend. Feather the thrusters to reduce decent until touch down. I'll be honest, I've never successfully landed this vertically but the best method would be to direct the thrusters down, feather the power and keep the nose slightly up to counter the medium jet engines power. At this point I usually lose control by spinning out! Have fun.
