Use trim to raise the gear, and vtol to move the engines. I cant get it to fly well and transition from flight to vtol mode. Can anyone help? @SpiritusRaptor @MrMecha @ccooper

Ok thanks!@Gestour
It needs to loose a lot of weight! I suggest getting rid of 3 of those VTOL engines, and any extra parts that are unnecessary. Make the wings bigger, loose the bombs and guns until it flys. Less fuel. The lighter the better.
The engines that rotate need to be mounted on the center of their mass, so that when you rotate them it doesn't change the center of mass of the entire ship. @GearGuy123
Is there any way to have it move forward more stable@Gestour
Ok I'll try to adjust it@Gestour
I tried!
I can get it to lift off vertically, but this doesn't fly like a plane at all, it's way way too heavy, not enough wing, the wing loading is 462lbs per sq ft, that needs to be closer to 10lbs.
if it won't fly like a plane, there's no way obviously to make it transition.
Ok thanks! I've been working on this a long time and I just can't crack the transition!@MrMecha
