Seeking out fellow designers for help! I am currently working on the Tiltwing-CL-84, and I am having balance/power issues with this planes VTOL capabilities. The plane flies well with regular takeoff, but struggles with VTOL. If you have any suggestions or fixes, please let me know. To control the plane as is, AG-1 controls the tilt wing/tilt tail angle with VTOL controls. AG-2 activates the tail rotor, and trim adjusts that blades throttle. I look forward to hearing suggestions, as this plane will be spectacular upon completion. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

@Sgtk sorry I meant the middle part between the wings
@melojam Mayhaps. I'm not decided on what to go after next...
@Sgtk so now your making the LTV XC-142
@Copperhead11 The tail moves on the real deal, and I was trying to be accurate, but its a possibility. I'd also like to just tweak the motors so that nozzles aren't required. I appreciate your ideas!! Thank you!
Have just the wings move. Also maybe add some hidden VTOL nozzles. Just some suggestions to help out a little bit.
