Who can make the best Sampson, using Damned Aerospace\'s VTOL fan?

Bonus points for door guns. 8)

Already been done, in fact the first thing I built with .15:

Also, I\'m waiting for the particle gun to work again. No guns :/

Is that thing stable? I have loads of trouble with any VTOL craft which has horizontal wings (even just control surfaces) anywhere other than at the centre of mass/lift, as they resist going up/down and flip the craft.

Yep.

It\'s so small that basically you have to balance yourself, and then use the weak but powerful enough force of SAS from the cockpit to maneuver.

As for a quadcopter, I busted the balance problem by only having the back end VTOL fans angle themselves, with the front ones have a second rotatron keep it level.

Looks OK, but didn\'t the Sampson have a V-tail and skids?
