This is VF-11 in the cartoon "Macross Plus". It is hard to fly and hard to transform. Please read this instruction before playing. And it's necessary to watch the transformation guide of the toy. AG1 with VTOL down is for gerwak ankle (the legs will flap down). AG2 with VTOL down is for folding wings. AG4 with VTOL down is to open the feet paddle. AG5 with VTOL down is for opening the arms. AG5 with trim down is to flap up the little triangle in front of the wings. AG6 with VTOL is for elbow. AG6 with trim down is to turn the gun on the right arm. AG7 with VTOL down is for body transformation. AG7 with trim down is to fold the nose cone and turn the head. AG8 is for controlling the nozzle ( usually don't turn it off). When you want to open the arms, do half of the body transformation (AG7 on and VTOL half down), and then flip the little triangle up (AG5 with trim down) then you can open the arms. You can either choose to complete the body transformation for battroid mode or push the VTOL lever up to the netural position with AG7 on for gerwak mode. Hope you enjoy! Special thanks to "anymoon.com" for their transformation guide video of VF-17 and VF-11. These videos give me insight on the structure of the toy. I built my plane according to these videos.
