I use this vehicle for everything except heavy combat.
I've made a number of modifications trying out different things: - Underwater use as a aircraft. (Needs to be lighter.. but still limited. Wood helps... but I tend not to do this.) - More responsive altitude adjustment. (Vtol2 works and helps steering, but I settled on 2 more Vtol1 in the front. - Carrier jets don't work well.) - 8 Aircraft Laser Turrets on a combat model. (0.5 size, stacked on top of each other directly under the cockpit.) - 3 Type 1 Landing Gear (To make it look better with the above turrets and/or rest better with the Aircraft Thruster rotation below.) - Rotating the Aircraft Thruster to 68-72 degrees for a much more horizontally level forward movement. *** (This really helps.) - Placing a Side Seat on on top of the vehicle once I rotate the Aircraft Thruster and tweak its location slightly. - Adding 2 Missile Launchers on the front, scaled down and non-visible. (Usually as the only weapon, to take out pesky birds you don't want to outrun.) - 4 Aircraft lights angled 30 degrees downward, 2 at 45 degree outward, all pointing forward. 4 vehicle headlights pointing down. (Lights up a huge area.) - Sometimes I remove the paint and keep the bare aluminum look to match the Aircraft Thruster. - Switching around the Fuel Cells in any way almost always results in undesirable effects.
My main "Must have" adjustments are the 2 - Vtol type 1 in the front, and the 72 degree rotation of the Aircraft Thruster. Maybe its a change in version 0.9 to 1.0+ physics or just my personal taste.

"Select ISO
Select Gun"
Should say Select Aircraft.
I cannot believe I missed that. =/

Many thanks Mordraneth!
