i made this to try how wing geometry would influence drag and handling. VTOL down (for wing retracting) and gear up before take off. full thrust and the launcher will bring you at very high altitude. AG1 to detach. after slowing down at 500 mph you can bring VTOL to medium to restore wing in neutral position. your lander have also some propulsion. you can experiment how wing angle will change your flight: VTOL up will increase agility, but don't exeed or you'll lose control. e enjoy!!!
