A test of fuel economy. Throttle to 30-35%, A1 + VTOL 3/4 up (first hash mark) for manual prop pitch. Ground speed about 90mph before lifting off, takes a long runway. Air speed between 70 and 100 is best for fuel. Deactivate A1, then activate A2 for pitch trim, like the normal pitch, down (back) for up. I let it fly for an hour before stopping it, with over 75% remaining. Under 10k lbs loaded, and less than 300 gallons of fuel at takeoff.

Ugh, this versions missing the access door on the left side of the "living quarters". To make the plane more stable, mirror the part before flight or it drifts right. Sorry.
