MOC: AP17X Super Aries.

Hello all. This is my latest moc that i've been building for a while now. The AP17X is a sort of a upgrade of a old moc i made quite a few years ago now. The original was called the AP17 Aries so i thought seeing as this is a upgraded version i'd call it the AP17X Super Aries. It's mainly used as either a transport plane or a personnel transport plane. 

It's a VTOL aircraft so it can land just about anywhere, The ramp at the back can go up and down, It has retractable landing gear and it also uses skids instead of wheels. Mainly because i don't have the right sized wheels. It uses two engines on the end of either wing for going up and down as well as one at the back to stabilise it. It also has two main engines built into the body. There's more pictures here: https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink I hope you like it. Finally here's the pictures:
