In Star Trek, a type of warship utilized by the Klingon Empire from the late 23rd century. Group 1=VTOL, group 2=landing gear, group 3=wing angle. Note, forward swept wings cause slight waivering yaw.

Take off: Throttle to 60% and pitch up to stay level, group 2 and VTOL up to retract gear, group 1 and VTOL up to move forward, will need to pitch down with VTOL transition.

    BTW I used 2 different pitch controls on mine, Wing pitch overall + VTOL pitch when needed. @maverickvii

    For the awesome looks! Launches OK, but still seems unstable during cruise at any throttle.

    I recently built a Klingon Bird of Prey II, and another 2000 MPH Klingon Bird of Prey, they both takeoff & fly like normal planes and accept full throttle, so can you check them out and rate? @DethFromAbove @maverickvii

    @Stingray, Go for it. I find if you throttle to only about 50%, you should be able to launch fine.

    I like the replication design! Could not get a stable launch, though. Mind if I do some mods to make it more user friendly?
