Hi Everyone,

I made a VTOL Patrol craft and snapped a few pics at the SEALUG meeting
on Saturday. So have a look:

It is powered by two large turbofans atop the fuselage, and has a single
internal fan that powers four thrust nozzles beneath.

The four landing gear allow for stable landings on almost any terrain.
The extra spacious cockpit can accomodate a pilot and passenger, plus a
small storage area behind the rear seat, or the entire area behind the
pilot may be converted for larger payloads or a rescue stretcher.

Enjoy!

I definitely like the landing gear. Simple to build, yet visually tasty. I also like the taper along the aft section of the body. I haven't figured out how to taper properly - yet. You and Rick seem to have a knack for pulling that off. -Duane (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)

Spiffy. Like the others, I like the tapered tail. :-) (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)

I think everyone agrees, the tail and the landing gears are the best features. great work Mark. David Rabadan "Tiera must be rebuilt at all cost!" Lieutenant Jason "Rattlesnake" Reedyk of the 1st Tieran Marine Corp. (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
