My submission for the Amazon challenge.
AG1=Flaps and High maneuvering mode. Control flaps with trim

AG2=Vtol engine rotation(Vtol up); Gyroscope on; and tail rotation (trim up).

AG3=Deploy Car Engine and Rover wheels(Trim up, Throttle and Yaw to control); Deploy parking hook(Trim down). Note that the hook will slow you quicker than just the brakes however it will break off above 100 mph and is tricky to use for carrier landing #canbedone.

AG4=Drag Chute for emergency stops, or the like.

AG5=Activate Jet engines, elevators will pitch down 5 degrees with gear up to compensate for off axis location of engines.

AG6=Emergency engine eject. Detaches propeller engines.(Improves maneuverability)

AG7=Jettison Fuel/Float pods.(Improves maneuverability)
NOTE: The aircraft will not float without pods

AG8=Deactivate Propeller Engines; Deactivate Nav lights.

VTOL=Fold wings up and down. Can be used as trim. Gull wing setup for max pitch up \~~O~~/, Reverse for max pitch down /~~O~~\ (be careful with a full payload) Level wings for max lift.

Vtol Mode: Keep trim at zero, Hit AG2, Vtol to about 50%up for vertical take off, 25%up to move foward. Once you have enough elevation Vtol to 0 and at about 150mph you can disable AG2.

Crawler mode: Recommend transformation when stopped.
Deploy: (1, Activate AG3)
(2, Trim up from zero to deploy rover wheels and engine)
(3, Activate AG2 w/ trim up to rotate tail)
(4, retract landing gear and deactivate AG8)
(5, Vtol up all the way to reverse wings).
Control with Throttle and Yaw. She's not the fastest land vehicle but if you take it easy you shouldn't have any issues, for really steep areas hit AG5 and use low throttle with the Jet engines.

Retract: (1, AG3 Off)
(2, Landing gear down)
(3, Trim to zero to rotate tail)
(4, AG2 Off)
(5, Wait for wings to move forward a bit or they could break. Vtol to zero)
(6, AG3 On then Off)
(7, AG8 On) You are now in the default mode.

Water Skimmer Mode:
From Standard flight mode: Gear up, Vtol -100%. Land on water with Float pods (requires you to not have hit AG7 obviously). Hit AG1 and max trim up. Control with Throttle, Brake, Yaw. For Max Speed increase Vtol to -30%. Slow speed turning activate AG2 to enable Gyroscope. NOTE: The aircraft will not float without pods.

Payload: Equipped with 4 AG BoomFurno 50s (can one shot a destroyer), 6 AG BoomFurno 25s (2 shot a destroyer), 6 AG Infurnos, 25 AG Rockets, 6 AA Guardians, 2 AA BoomCepter 25s, 4 AA Interceptors and 6 Custom 3 Barrel MiniGuns.

Firing order: Select AG Infurno, Launch order is center out, BoomFurno50s, BoomFurno25s, Infurnos. Same with AA Interceptors. Drop Bombs at your own risk.
