The FalconHammer has reached its final design stage, hence the version number drop and the GT designation. With this also comes a couple of new features.
1. New paint job!
2. Amphibious!
3. Fuselage design tweaks
4. New horizontal/vertical stabilizer design!
5. Tweaks to CoM and flight control surfaces for better handling.
How to fly the FalconHammer.
Caution: Never pitch down while on the ground, wing damage will occur.
Take off: Throttle up to gain speed and then use VTOL controls to sweep the wings forward until lift is achieved. Once liftoff has occurred and you are clear of the runway you may use the VTOL controls to sweep the wings all the way AFT to enter speed mode.(note: entering speed mode can cause a slight roll effect to occur)
For high speed turns, sweep the wings all the way forward.
Water Landing: Leave landing gear up and approach the water at a shallow angle and preferably below 400mph. Boat mode: Once on the water just throttle up and cruise.(note: turning is limited while on the water)
Top Speed: 1,000mph, achived @ 40,000ft.

@Botfinder Ah, I see what ya mean, but that won't work. All of the wings are attached to the same piece (one on each side) which rotates up and down with pitch control. Each individual wing is attached to a hinged rotator that performs the sweeping action and those cannot be altered or else they will smash into each other and explode.
Side note: I am working on something different that does what your talking about, code name: DragonCraft.
@Botfinder what are you talking about?
