Hey!

So, i'm working on a tilt rotor, inspire by a design from Mirror's Edge: Catalyst (in the bottom of the description), but, for it to work the way i want it to, i had to do some testing with tilt rotors, cause i don't have much luck with them. The result was thing thing, that has some kinda cool and simple FT i learned just for this.

Controls: Standard Plane Controls.
AG1 for horizontal flight mode.
AG1=Off, Gear=Off and AG2=On to activate turret.
VTOL for horizontal turret movement.
Trim for vertical turret movement.
Pitch (with AG1 off) to go forwards and back.
(Also in Craft Instructions)

How to fly: Increase the throttle all the way to 100% and take off. To transition to horizontal mode, pitch up with AG1 off, turn on AG1 when you're in a speed and altitude you're confortable with and fly.

I have only flown it in High Physics!

Feel free to take any codes present in the build, and also feel free to do what you want with it.
