Keep 8 activated for take off and landing. To start forward flight slowly tilt props forward so that the nose of the aircraft does not point up. Once fully level, deactivate 8 and adjust trim to stay level. To land, activate 8 and reduce throttle. Proper throttle will vary with fuel usage but at 99% fuel correct throttle is roughly 76%. Rotate props backwards to slow down, once slowed to below roughly 75 mph rotate props about 5 degrees either direction to get over landing zone. Once over landing zone have props vertical and manuver as a helicopter for further changes in direction. Reduce throttle untill decending slowly until one virtibird height from the ground. Then cut throttle and hold brake. Is capable of flying for at least an hour.
