    @PreVizsla Thank you very much I am glad you liked it!!!!
    What I personally do before landing is
    A) Shut down the engine and deactivate AG2 (Main Thruster),
    B) glide a little in order to deccelerate and line up with the runway,
    C) once i am in line with the runway I press AG 1 to activate the gyroscope but i dont open the throttle yet.
    D) When i am approaching the runway i open the throttle at about 55% (this much throttle is needed to levitate and i play with it (from 45-65%) in ordr to touch the ground smoothly
    TIP: When you activate the gyroscopes in stage D) you can pull back, this will pitch the aircraft just a bit up making it easier to deccelerate!!!
    I hope I helped!!!

    This looks great and is amazing to fly! I really appreciate the control surfaces and the balance, especially having yaw control. I would upvote it if I could! I'm not sure how to land it (with only group 1 enabled it's very hard to descend from any altitude). I'm thinking maybe I'll just add more thrust to whatever lifts it in AG1?

    By the way if you set zerotodeactivate to true on the hyperspeed engine it will turn off when you press the button again :) brill job though.
