Tiltrotor
A simple tiltrotor inspired by the V-22. It's armed with guns and missiles. Takeoff should be done at 30-40% throttle. Use 2 to activate and deactivate the pitch and roll RCNs. To switch to level flight, slowly advance the throttle while simultaneously tilting the rotor forward. Tilt rotors between the top two arrows for most level flight. Landing is done most easily at a roll with low throttle and rotors at 45 degrees. Once you are on the ground and level, tilt the rotors back to negative 45 degrees to help with your braking. Keep RCNs active during landing to add more control over unwanted movements, as the Tiltrotor like to sway. Tilting the rotors back can also be used to sharpen your turns, and brake you in midair.
