Hello! It's been a while! I present the Douglas DC-3 for the VR challenge.

Act 1 and 2 are the Engines.
Act 3 is the landing lights and rear wheel control.
Act 4 and 5 are external lighting.
VTOL UP is Parking Brake.
VTOL DOWN is the flaps.

Takeoff Speed is around 75-80mph (w/ flaps) Takeoff Speed is around 100-110mph (w/o flaps)
Stall Speed is around 75-80mph (w/flaps) Stall Speed is around 90-110mph (w/o flaps)
Top speed is 145 while flying level

Perhaps unique among prewar aircraft, the DC-3 continues to fly in active commercial and military service as of 2021, eighty six years after the type's first flight in 1935.[citation needed] There are still small operators with DC-3s in revenue service and as cargo aircraft. Current uses of the DC-3 include passenger service, aerial spraying, freight transport, military transport, missionary flying, skydiver shuttling and sightseeing. The very large number of civil and military operators of the DC-3/C-47 and related types makes a listing of all the airlines, air forces and other current operators impracticable. -Wikipedia
