why will my VTOL not take off?

i have two small helicopter propellers, one on each side, and one with reverse rotation, and the plane won’t take off. i know they have enough thrust, because it will take off horizontally.

    @TheFlightGuySP thanks, i figured out my problem. it was a mistake on my part. i had forgot that heli blades only provide lift with default settings when the vtol slider is used, and i also had the rotators set to vtol. thanks for the help tho!

    @Lithesafe647 In that case, using something like this should help with the issue:

    Throttle-rate(IAS/#)
    

    Changing the # changes the acceleration of the build. You'll need to keep increasing this number until the aircraft takes off fast enough without going too fast.

    @TheFlightGuySP collective range just made it horizontally take off really fast, i already have it on max engine power

    Keep in mind is that just because it has enough horizontal thrust doesn't mean that it has enough vertical thrust.
    Either increase the Collective Range or the engine power itself.
