JATO means Jet Assisted Take Off. This plane is my attempt at recreating this feature, inside SP. This plane is not meant to be pretty, but if you like it’s perfectly capable of normal flight.To use JATO, turn on AG1. Begin a normal take off procedure, throttle on full, pitch up. Then once you speed is adequate, say, 80 MPH, increase VTOL slider to half way up, from the middle. And pitch up. After you’re in the air, return the slider to neutral.Enjoy!
