Auto Credit Based on PikeovlevPlanes's wingless jet challenge entry
not great, maybe I should check out other ways of doing it. group 8 toggles whether or not the front jets tilt to provide roll of if it is just done by the tail. VTOL controls airbrakes, which provide stability but slow it down. lift and control on the pitch axis works by tilting the jets downwards when you pull back on the stick, but the rotation range is slightly greater at the front, tilting the aircraft. the lift is supplemented by two vertical lift jets, which also provide yaw control.
