In celebration of my realization today that I was an update behind, I bring you the Land, Air and Sea prototype, v1.0. When completed, this vehicle will be able to operate over land and water, and boast VTOL capabilities. Right now it...sort of does that. The LAS's ground mode features two f/m mounted 150hp engines and a variable FWD/RWD/AWD drivetrain. The wheels fold for air and water mode. Water mode control is currently achieved via a small, top mounted, rotating jet engine. This system is still very much in the design phase. Use at your own risk. The flight/VTOL mode is the furthest along in development. A single VTOL engine and two exhaust nozzles propel the vehicle forward and up. *CONTROLS* Fold wheels: activate 1, VTOL. RWD: activate 2, throttle. FWD: activate 3-deactivate 2, throttle. AWD: activate 2+3. Flight/VTOL: activate 4-deactivate 1, VTOL+throttle. Water mode (danger): activate 5,-deactivate 1+4, throttle+yaw
