I find this plane quite difficult to land. I based it very loosely on a polikarpov I153. press1 and use trim for trim. vtol propeller pitch but it's set to 50% which is good for most speeds up to around 250mph where the engine will overspeed unless you decrease throttle to 80% or increase vtol slider slightly.
