Couldn't figure out how to blend the cockpit into the fuselage, but I prefer the tail-cam view anyway. Keep the throttle around 50% and use the VTOL for prop pitch. For anyone not familiar with the variable pitch system, never take it fully forward or fully back. Pitch around 9/10ths forward seems to be the best for cruising, 3/4ths for takeoff. Fiddle with it.
