This is quite nice. It even works well with FAR.

As tested in FAR:

VTOL Flight is good. Controllable without SAS with some effort, with SAS it's nice to fly.

Fwd Flight is fun to yank n bank. Def have to have room to turn it or pull through loops and dives, but it's more fun to fly it like that at high speed.

It looks great too which makes it worthy of being called a Harrier.

Team.leit look at the name of the thread :P

The Fleet Master if you want you can make a weaponized version for me!

GusTurbo yes one day it came to me than I can just hide the engine in the fuselage and later I saw that method in the construction technique thread. I took 2 small girders and attached the engine to them.

Sorry, I usually end up missing details like that

Great job! As a huge fan of the Harrier, to see a 100% stock version to play around with is just sweet.

Question: What's the fuel range on this in game?

Well in horizontal flight it can fly at full throttle for about an hour?

VTOL will last about half of that.
