Hi Everyone, I made a VTOL Patrol craft and snapped a few pics at the SEALUG meeting on Saturday. So have a look: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=75778 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=75779 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=75780 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=75781 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! ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head -- Mark's Lego(R) Creations http://www.nwlink.com/~sandlin/lego

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)

		Re: VTOL Patrol Craft
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)
