You can control the air from a high altitude which gives you a great advantage. You can descend or ascend quickly with the right stick down or up. Stick down is lift and right stick up is to descend or land. No VTOL engines is needed. Air speed straight shot flight 900 mph. Upon take off increase thrust 100% and when you are above 240 mph decrease thrust at 23-24% and keep it there. You save on fuel and have an efficient flight. Fly atleast 12000 feet or more its up to you in the air and power off before the runway..you are basically gliding down to the runway...this aircraft is better than my bat glider..in fact this plane functions really well... So descend according to your prefered altitude by moving rigjt stick up at a time or if you are still high take a sharp dive down by moving rigjt stick up..as you get close to the runway catch your shadow on the runway and.as you are about to touch the runway right stick down again and let her land and left stick down to brake. You can go at high altitudes with no problem..just no crazy sharp turrns or say bye to the air...if you follow my instructions you will appreciate this craftmanship and flight..its one of my best planes.. Have fun! No sharp turns at high speed and practice being gentle on the right stick and you will understand the flow and behavior of the plane...turn shadow on medium from settings and low quality graphics, it's my preference or choose your preference. Remember the planes behave differently on different platforms but behaves fine on the android...can'tsay much for ios.
