This is a real tricopter, it use only rotors for lift and control. You will see that the VTOL nozzles don't provide lift and that there are no thrusters. To fly just activate group 1 and throttle to 100%. Group 2 will activate more engines for more lift but burns more fuel. Now move the VTOL control up from center to takeoff, and down from center to fly inverted. Please remember that yawing reduces lift from the tail. So you must compensate by pushing forward on the stick, backward if you are inverted.

60 Ajent101This is awesome. Thanks for giving me the idea for the rotors. I have made a quadrocopter myself using similar rotors. Any way this is a awesome plane and I love the ability to fly it upside down whenever I try to fly mine upside down it just explodes iunlike yours.9.5 years ago
