Vertical takeoff problem:
The PV-40 plane I made unable to take off vertically, it starts to spin until it loses control.
Use the VTOL control to flip the wings.

@MajGenBlackbird Thank you for the tip!
@ACEVIPER9710 Thank you very much!
@PlaneFX6 Its fixed check my profile for it
Using RCS thrusters could help, however the main issue is the weight and balance. You’ve made the VTOL as a plane first, having an almost perfect COL,COM, and COT distribution. However, when the wings tilt, the aircraft’s COT becomes extremely high, as all the engines are on the tops of the wings. This also moves the majority of the weight backwards as well, too close to the center of lift. As such, the gyroscope doesn’t have the power to counteract this force, and it becomes uncontrollable. My recommendation is to build the aircraft like building a helicopter first, then try and transition it to an aircraft.
@ACEVIPER9710 OK then.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes Exactly.
