    You need a way to control it without using aerodynamics, like using thrusters or a gyro or something.

    Make jet engine thrust down, or prop thrust up, and then completely disregard any and all planning with weight, CoM, lift, and other important things.
    Oh, and be sure to put a gyro on it to completely negate any wrong elements of structure listed above, because who cares

    @Planemonster nnooo, I think the best way is to have a gyro and deactivate it after your off the ground far enough. Or you can play with the vtol nozzles, if its flipping back the front nozzles are to far forward, and vice versa for the rear vtol nozzles. It may take a bit to find th sweet spot.
