super easy to fly and enough fuel to go from Wright airport to avalanche airport and back on one tank. This blackbird is able to do vertical take off and vertical landings as well as normal take offs and landing. normal take offs move vtol forward then throttle and pull nose up gently. vtol take off throttle up first til your at desired altitude then move vtol forward and be ready to pull nose up. before take off either way set trim to pull nose up. group 8 can deactivate gyros. you want gyros on in hover mode or any vtol mode. This vehicle moves good on ground using yaw to steer and vtol forward, or backward plus throttle to slow on ground or air. with gyros on this blackbird is very maneuverable. I plan too improve its looks in the next version. enjoy
