Probably my most successful ornithopter. Very agile and efficient! Instructions: Turn VTOL (pitch) to 1/4 down. This should have the nose pointing about 30-40 degrees. Throttle all the way up, and wait until you are at around 300-700 ft. Then, you can turn using Roll, (which is actually Yaw) and use a combo of Pitch and Yaw to fly upside down! For more efficient and faster flight, turn the VTOL down to maybe 1/8 or 1/7 instead of 1/4, but only once in the air. You cannot take off lower than 1/4 of VTOL down. Also, the cockpit is AG1. That's it!
