This is RayBurst, an experimental, VTOL-capable, supersonic strike aircraft carrying a huge laser cannon on its underside.

Operation:
AG 1 turns on the VTOL engines. 100% throttle is required to lift you off the ground.
AG 2 turns on the primary engines. These four jets provide the thrust necessary to propel you to supersonic speed.
AG 3 activates the thrust-deflection system. Sliding VTOL up points the main engines outward, which makes the aircraft slow down a little. Added because it looked cool.
AG 4 unlocks the rotation of the the VTOL thrust ports. Angle back is limited to 50 degrees.
AG 5 arms the laser for firing, and also unlocks the laser-cannon pitch. Cannon pitch is controlled by VTOL slider. This also tilts the canards mounted on the laser barrel, which can aid in pitching.
Landing gear is retracted with the landing gear button. Trim trims up the surfaces on the canards.

This is a quite tricky aircraft to learn how to properly fly. It can take-off and land both laterally and vertically, so rest-assured, if you crashed, it means you did something wrong.
