My first working tiltrotor design. It flys great with the rotors forward like a plane. Very difficult to hover, at least for me. Elevator Trim controls the rotor tilt angle, trim up (numpad 1) tilts forward, trim down (numpad 7) tilts back. Regular VTOL controls for rotor pitch (z and x). Feel free to tweak and upgrade/improve. Send me a message and a link to your changes if you like. I also appreciate constructive criticism and comments on how I can improve my designs.
