Dusted off after a long time sitting in a back shed, Bradbury found a new life in a recent VTOL challenge. Pre-DLC, this craft is fun and is a delight to fly. Landing, on the other hand, is not for the faint of heart. Fortunately, after much destruction, it was decided to add some chutes for those less-inclined to play aviation Russian roulette.

The craft is set up to land either nose or tail down, but nose down is far easier.

Named after the great Ray Bradbury. If you do not know who that is, turn in your sci-fi fan card.

To launch, spool up the engines and toggle the thrust reverse (action group 1). The craft will naturally rotate and just as it starts to do so, toggle back to forward thrust.

To land, either deploy the chutes or use your best descent skills honed over years of attempting to land on Tylo. The biggest challenge is the Goliaths take a long time to spool up, so you need to think ahead in your throttle adjustments.

Make sure you keep a few engineers on board to repack the chutes.
