Auto Credit Based on ProvingMars's Augered Swallow tail
The VTOL version of my Augered Tern, which was a variation of my Augered Swallow Tail.
This is my first attempt at a VTOL. The balance is right, but I have a very laggy tablet, so I honestly don't know if it is flying correctly.
I would appreciate any input on how it handles on faster systems. And, comments in general.
I know the birds head is a bit cheesy, but it came to me while I was forming the attachment for the vectored thrush ports.

@Reddley. _ I thank you, again.

The wings have flex, but there is a breaking point. As I understand it, the structural wings are stronger.
Also, wide, narrow wings don't handle speed well. Look at the fast jet fighters. Stubby wings with more depth, so they only cut the air to the width of the stubby wings, rather than a wide width of a narrow wing. Wide=slow. Narrow=fast. (That is wide and narrow wing span, not wing depth.)
@Nitrous, I should have reduced the engine power to match the stress limits.
Why does it break apart when it goes fast
