Tiltrotor Tandem Wing Aircraft - Uses the Dornier Do 29 / Focke-Achgelis Fa 269 style downward tilting pusher props, but between tandem wings. You need to enable AG2 to allow the props to be tilted. AG8 deactivates the Gyroscope. In VTOL mode, it sinks slowly at 70% throttle, and climbs slowly at 80%.
