Originally designed to be around 510 meters long, the Herrnstadt III had to be shortened due to some technical issues involving the size of the ship. Fortunately, its a lot easier to handle now.

Trim slider: Control rudder. Up=turn to starboard. Down=turn to port
VTOL slider: Controls propeller pitch. Up=forward Down=reverse. Works best when the VTOL slider is around 1/3 up/down

Sail at 15% thrust when not turning. Increase thrust when turning to maintain speed.
