Belive it or not i got it to fly once. This aircraft is an extremly dificult one to fly. ACTION GROUPS 1:engage primary engines 2: engage vtol engines 6: rearward ramp controls enable 8: enable rcs. Instructions- PREFLIGHT action groups 2,8 enabled vtol slider in middle positon. TAKING OFF- slowly throttle up to 60 percent thrust being sure to use the rcs to keep the craft level, once liftoff is achived and a good amout of height is gained gradually push the vtol slider forward until it is at the maximum forward position, now increase thrust and gain sufficient speed to keep from stalling. At this point the crafts primary jet engines may be engaged. Either or both of the thrust meathods may now be employed at the pilots leasure. And lastly one extremly important point DONT GET MAD this conraption was extremly hard to build. It took a multitude of atempts to get it off the ground, let alone actually fly. And that was by me the guy who actually built it. I wouldnt be suprised if an experienced pilot would take an hour or more to get suficiently proficent with this craft to actualy take off and land without any mesure of extreme effort. Well at any rate good luck! -Flakbait
