AG1 - VTOL mode
AG7 - all pylons

=== VTOL INSTRUCTION ===

-- TAKING OFF
1. Activate AG1, wait for the nozzles to start pointing down;
2. Throttle to increase power, use pitch and roll to make sure it won't flip (gyro will be there for you, so it's gonna be easy);
3. When in air, start to tilt forward and gain airspeed;
4. Fully extend the flaps (VTOL down);
5. At 230km/h IAS (142mph) pitch up and deactivate AG1

-- LANDING
1. Slow down to approx. 350km/h (217mph);
2. Activate AG1 and tilt full backward with pitch, use throttle to control the vertical speed;
3. When you'll eventually begin to hover in place, slowly decrease the throttle to sink;
4. Upon touching down, kill the throttle;
5. Depending on if you want to either taxi or not, turn the AG1 back on.
