This version is a working VTOL. But it's tricky, so please read instructions.
BEFORE TAKE OFF:
Activate AG-2 to detach fuel truck and free engine nacelle nozzles.
Slide VTOL slider down so that it's aligned with the bottom middle mark. It must be as close to centered on that mark as possible!
Deactivate AG-2, move VTOL slider up, and activate AG-1 and AG-3.
Throttle up until lift-off and take careful control while in Vertical flight. Nose forward to gain velocity and once moving slide VTOL down slightly. Once you're at about 150mph, you can slowly center the VTOL slider again, and reactivate AG-2 to center nacelle thrusters. If done right, you should now be in level flight.
Good luck and:
HAPPY FLYING!

25.2k A5mod3us@Karlosdarkness Paul Moller, yeah. Cool guy. A lot of innovations have come out of Moller International. Unfortunately, we won't see skycars in the sky any time soon. The technology just isn't present to make them crash-proof.9.5 years ago
