Auto Credit Based on Kaiser7's [CLOSED] 50 PARTS OR LESS CHALLENGE

This is for ComradeKaiser7’s 50 parts or less challenge. It is a fictional aircraft designed to be lightweight and maneuverable.

Control Tips:

Takeoff:
Throttle 20-30%, flaps (VTOL) 3/4 way down, use small rudder corrections, pull back gently at 85 mph (135 km/h).
Landing:
Throttle 5-15%, flaps 1/4 down, touchdown at 75-85 mph (120-135 km/h)
General: be very gentle or have throttle below 10% when using down elevator, use no more than 50% throttle (it doesn’t add much thrust), COT is high, so trim/flaps must be adjusted when throttle is moved.

(This plane doesn’t really fit into the ultralight class as is weighs over a ton, but I tried to use mods as little as possible.)
