This craft has very specialized controls, and it is imperative that you read the craft description for proper flight.

It took me 30 minutes to figure this out.

Not for the faint of heart! If you're brave (and have Firespitter,) download Here.

Unfortunately not. It's more of a St/Vl, due to the aerodynamic surfaces, but it can hover in the air if you're careful. Also, I don't really think it can land horizontally.

I'll probably post a tweaked version later.
