Welcome to version 2.1 of the Vertiplane!
INFO
This is a custom experimental aircraft. It can takeoff and land vertically and horizontally. It's easy to control in hover or airplane mode! The power source is an engine with contra rotating blades.
CONTROLS
VTOL: AG-8 should already be activated at start, it enables manual stability control with pitch and roll in hover mode. Approximately 75% throttle to takeoff vertically.
VTOL Slider to transition between hover mode to airplane mode.
AIRPLANE MODE
De-activating AG-8 is recommended during Airplane Mode. Make sure you're not touching pitch and roll to make sure the rotor stays centered when de-activated.
LANDING VERTICALLY
Remember to re-activate AG-8 when transitioning to hover mode. Approximately 70% throttle to land in VTOL Mode. You may need to throttle up and down gently to ensure a soft touchdown.
UPDATE INFO
It should no longer explode while maneuvering in Hover Mode. Both propellers now have the same six blades each. Some minor improvements has been made.

@Gm8984 thanks man. Glad you enjoy it

@Gm8984
I made a vertical lift on plane. Check my top planes.
@Nickasaurus I think I fixed the explosion issue.
I just reupdated the description. Please re-read to learn controls.
Don't forget to mention that you have to let go of the roll and pitch before you deactivate AG8 :)
He'll never stop! More vertiplanes are what we need in this desperate and broken world! Make some more so we may defend ourselves in this desperate time of need!
First!!!
