3,683 LjSpike@chaseharbaugh Well. VTOLs in simple planes are, VERY WEIGHT. For some reason everything is weighted backwards...so my idea of a very symettric VTOL was thrown, I couldn't balance it any more than this without destroying the design.8.9 years ago

3,683 LjSpikeThanks hypnotoad! The large thing on the front is the balancing mechanism, stranglehold physics makes weight naturally fall backwards.9.0 years ago
