So as I'm looking through my parts box I come across the Hind kit that I'd
bought as a base for a VTOL. So since I was in the VTOL making mood I started
working on it.

So I took what I had left over from the A-10s, filled in with some
putty, and here's the base cassis for a VTOL with troop carrying capacity.

The body is a Hind with the vertical tail fin removed. The wings are
inverted cut down A-10 wings. The 2 engine nacells are 2 entire A-10
engine sections, the tail is the tail wing of an A-10 plus the wingletts
and tail wings off the hind. Now that the cassis is together I'll start making
some more mods to it.

Neat. What size are you rating it as?

Well the first two I made and the one Brian B uses are all class 3, this would
have to be 4, or we're going to have to scale down the others.
