Hi I'm Chesscube! I have revamped my LS-16 squirrel to a VTOL plane. This is my last entry in the wromface challenge. To takeoff vertically do this,100% power ( don't use activation group one unless you're flying forward.) immediately after takeoff it will tilt back but not too drastically so wait a little bit after that. After about 5 or so seconds sliding VTOL slider all the way up to switch the engines forward. This may take practice. If you're planning to take off normally go easy on the pitch it is super sensitive during take off. Should fly fine. if you are landing, Push the slider slightly back so the propellers do not smash on the ground.if you find anything wrong please report to me. Otherwise feedback is greatly appreciated. Have fun happy flying!

@RocketLL thanks for the upvote and support! I will tweak my plane tomorrow which for me is Saturday.
Nice, but pitch is a little unstable.
Make the pitch control surfaces smaller.
@Wormforce this is my final entry. What do you think?
