Auto Credit Based on TheNightmare811's [CLOSED] #VTOL_Challenge

Just reposting as an entry to a VTOL contest. It is a defensive prop powered plane capable of VTOL. To take off, throttle up and make small adjustments to VTOL to balance. Then VTOL up and fly as normal. To land, just slow down with the propellors turning slighly back. And, as always, please comment, upvote, and enjoy!!!!

    Well, it leans forwards and tips over, you could add a different paintjob, a slightly more aerodynamic design and weapons, (give the vehicle a function). Good luck @bspboy

    Nah, it's cool that you used something different, maybe try to perfect the design? @bspboy

    I wish I had. I have entered that into a lot of VTOL challenges. So I thought I would try a new one. But I guess I should stick to that. @TheNightmare
