VTCP-280 PELICAN
Welcome to the VTCP platform!.... This ACFT is the premier model in its class for both vertical takeoff and landing aswell as fixed wing flight... For success while piloting this ACFT please take the following instructions into account..... INSTRUCTIONS: The Vtol slider on the left controls your blade pitch, scroll the vtol marker down for upward lift/forward thrust... The TRIM SLIDER on the right controls the tilt of the acft wing rotors. scroll the slider up for the rotors to face forwards for fixed wing mode (must have taken off first) ( before going to full horizontal mode ensure the acft is going at least 100mph and is at least 400 ft above the ground) there are 2 main methods of take off, vertical and horizontal, instructions for both will be given later... RIGHT STICK: this is responsible for your pitch and roll in fixed wing mode and acts as a cyclic stick while in hover mode (must have actg 1 on for full hover control)...LEFT STICK: this is responsible for your engine power and yaw while in fixed wing mode, yaw while in hover mode (actg 1 on) allows the rotors to tilt on the Z axis for easier turning... ADV INSTRUCTIONS... Vertical takeoff- 1: turn on actg 1 ...2: thrust to 100... 3: loser vtol slider till a slow lift off is achieved... 4: once 500 feet above ground increase please pitch ( vtol slider down) to half way... 5: tilt rotors to 45 degrees forward... 6: once a speed of 120 is reached slide vtol alo the way down and tilt the rotors to full forward ( between the last 2 tick Marks)... 7: PULL UP... 8: actg 1 off... HORIZONTAL TAKEOFF!! ...1: Tilt rotors forward ( ensure they cant hit the ground)... 2: bring the vtol slider down half way... 3: engine power to 30%... 4: once a speed of 100mph is reached increase thrust to 100%... 5: once you are lifted off tilt the rotors more forward and slide the vtol slider all the way down... 6: tilt rotors to horizontal position... 7: PULL UP!... END INSTRUCTIONS.... I hope you enjoy the acft I have c

@Zyvx thankyou :)
Awesome details, and I see you found the trick to the concealed cockpit too. This has a nice complex technical flying feel too it, like a good old fashion simulator. Great job
@DPSAircraftManufacturer care to elaborate? And thankyou for taking the time to comment
I realized that I goofed on the vertical stabilizers on the tail. The bottom tail wings are inverted. Also the outboard rotors have an extra nozzle on the end due to a error while mirroring, my apologies
Hope you guys enjoy the ACFT, it's been a minute since I made a new VTOL model. Tell me what you all think and dont be afraid post any criticism or improvements I should consider for future models!
