A very simple, vertical takeoff capable craft.
Takeoff: throttle to 70%, enjoy
Heli controls pitch, yaw, and roll with throttle adjustments for speed/altitude
Wanna go faster? AG1 for forward flight mode
This will need flown right down the middle between an airplane and a helicopter. To turn, use roll and yaw together then pitch slightly to increase turn rate (throttling down a bit helps too), return both to center to straighten out.
Landing: return to Heli mode
Throttle down to 60% and pitch to reduce airspeed, descend adjusting between 60 and 70% throttle, try to take it slow and drop the tail so it lands first then throttle down.
Looking for feedback, hopefully you have some.
