Bird of Prey (folding wings)

VTOL up to unfold wings and increase thrust. Half way down to fold wings and engines off.
Use VTOL like trim (at the upper end of the slider).
Activation 8 also switches off main engine.

Notes:
- VTOL up slowly for near vertical take-off, and quickly for a more traditional take-off.
- There are many ways to land and I'll let you figure that out.
- Some feathers might fall off from time to time, but thats all ok...

Enjoy
