Buoyant Cargo Propellor Plane

Read full desc. thank you! (srry for name change)
Imgur

This will be referred to as Sweet Spot Position
Imgur


This watercraft cargo plane includes:

A cockpit with throttle gauge
VTOL Propellors + 2 landing and takeoff options
Windows
The ability to take off and land in water
USAF Letters and Insignias
Some other cool detailing

For you pilots:

Throttle for propellors
VTOL for propellor direction
AG 8 to deactivate gyro
Everything else is standard

When cruising (so not on the ground, landing, or taking off) always be in Sweet Spot Position for stable flight. Also, always keep the gyro on for takeoff. Landing depends on how you are landing, which will be explained more in a few sentences

BONUS: Having the gyro on while cruising acts like autopilot, because normal autopilot doesn't work with this plane

Takeoff and landing instructions:

Want to skip this part of the description? Ok, but don't complain or not leave an upvote because you couldn't take off or land.

Takeoff:

Helicopter-style (straight upwards):

Throttle to 100%
When you are the desired distance away from the ground (it doesn't really matter HOW far away you are) move VTOL to Sweet Spot Position
Deactivate AG 8 once steadily cruising forward
Raise landing gear
Cruising

Plane-style (normal plane takeoff):

Move VTOL to Sweet Spot Position
Throttle to 100%
Once you start lifting off the ground, deactivate AG 8
Raise landing gear
Cruising

Landing:

Helicopter-style:

Activate AG 8
Extend landing gear
Once over your target landing spot, move to normal VTOL position (middle)
Right after, throttle down to 0%
Wait until you hit the ground
Landed

If you start falling too fast, you might have to re-engage your propellors to slow your fall, but this thing can handle pretty hard landings
You will be slowly drifting forward as you fall, but that is just the nature of planes. If you drift forward too much, feel free to re-engage the engines backward to counteract your forward movement (though I wouldn't recommend it)

Plane-style:

Just a normal plane landing. If you can't do a normal plane landing then I can't help you there.
Just keep your VTOL in Sweet Spot Position the whole time. Once you hit the ground and start braking, feel free to go back to normal VTOL position


All of this stuff should work on water too. Of course, because it is water, some things might break or things might not function the same. They should stay intact though. I have tested both takeoff and landing techniques on water and land so they should work just fine.


Well, that was a long description. This is my first VTOL plane and arguably first GOOD propellor plane. It is also my first plane with a cockpit, kinda. It only has a throttle gauge but I don't care. If you were to ask me my opinion, I prefer the helicopter-style takeoff, because it looks cool and isn't too hard to do, and the normal plane-style landing, because the helicopter style one, while cool, is pretty difficult for me. Just checked and this description took me 1 hour to write. If you wanted something sad, then I just gave it to you.

Safe flying!
