I made the lower winglets much larger so I could put wheels on them for
a conventional takeoff / landing. It would be preferable to have that
capability as an option. I moved the upper winglets to centerline, one
converted to a vertical stabilizer/rhino rudder on the belly, same
dimensions as canard, also provides the nose gear. The other vertical
stabilizer at the rear to also provides the third point for a vertical
landing.

There does not seem to be a rudder control without a joystick, so I
might have to get a joystick. I want to play with more authority on the
canard and rhino rudder before adding any vectored thrust.
