It is a rocket and its scale too.
Towards the end of the war Von Braun added wings to a V-2 so it could glide to extend its range. The intention was to be able to hit London when launched from Germany.
Two were built and flow although both failed before its gliding range could be established.
its proportions suggested it would make a reasonable powered plane so the intention was to install an EDF in the tail with four large cheat holes between the fins.
If built light enough could it take off vertically and then fly like an ordinary EDF?
Took some tome and development but the answer proved to be yes!
It flies very nicely and being well throttled back it has a quite a respectable duration for an EDF.. It is even capable of simple aerobatics.
It does have a gyro but is set to "rate" mode so no safe stability thus it has to belly land.
The torque of the EDF is such that it makes the V-2 spiral in the early stages of the vertical ascent. Unexpected but it does mean it stays pointing mote or less up until the aerodynamic surfaces take effect.
One unusual feature is that with the EDF right at the back the 1800mAh 4s has to go right in the nose which means the ESC to motor wires are nearly 1m long!

That is a rocket

pretty cool rocket!
