Description
Nice little plane. Flies very smootly.

Cruise speed 180-200m/s
Top Speed 720 m/s (Mach 2.6) at 13000m
Ceiling 18000 meters. (You can get way higher than that, but you can't maintain level flight up there.)
Range approx. 1200km fully fuelled. (Depending on your use of the throttle, your mileage may vary.)

Action group 10 toggles between VTOL and Regular Flight Mode
Action group 9 toggles between STOL and Regular Flight Mode
Action Group 8 toggles the after burner
Action Group 7 toggles the flaps and airbrakes

-Recommend not switching between STOL and VTOL directly. It messes up the works. Switch back to Regular Flight Mode first.
-You'll lose around 50 meters of altitude switching from VTOL to RFM.
-Also the jets take some time spinning up and down, so throttling doesn't gain or lose you altitude instantly.


Good luck pilots

Well, your stock-parts-only version is quite nice. But why did you place so many engines! I have changed it, left only two (the forward engine is always vertical). So minus one hinge, frame and reaction wheel. The craft is lighter, it does not lose height during mode switching and the landing is much easier (I can maneuver now).
