The L.A.W. of Transportation, on Land, in Air, and in Water. This was not originally my creation. The original design was created by "Epicguy668" and the original name of the aircraft was "Works not really". Thank you Epicguy for your creation. I hope you will like how I have improved your aircraft.

Hey guys! FLYGUY101 here! I hope that everyone reads this. Please be patient with me guys. I'm new and am trying learn everything, but I just had to share this project with you. The messages below will tell you about the history of the aircraft and tell you how to run the aircraft. Hope you guys like it! Remember to leave an upvote! Thanks guys!
I highly encourage you to read everything if you want to know the history of this aircraft, otherwise please read the "Pilot's Flight Manual".
Before we go any further into this description, I want to make one thing clear... This was not originally my creation. The original design was created by "Epicguy668" and the original name of the aircraft was "Works not really". Thank you Epicguy for your creation. I hope you will like how I have improved it.
If you, like me, have flown his aircraft, you will know that it was really odd to fly. The thing shook like it was going to explode! However, I saw a lot of potential in this aircraft and I asked myself, how can I improve his creation? Well, here's how.
First, I removed some gimbals, this helped with the violent shaking. I then repositioned the engine on top and added a turbo prop in place of it, to give it the ability to hover. Next, I noticed that when navigating through the sky, it would skim instead of turn, so I added vertical stabilizers on the end of each wing. As I was testing the aircraft, I began having difficulties hovering and landing the aircraft, so I added a VTOL system to help with the hovering issue. After a lengthy testing process of around 42 hours, I had finally completed the aircraft.
Now I obviously did a lot more to help this aircraft perform at it's best, but I didn't want to bore you with a long list. Besides, I didn't make a list to remember everything I did, but I did a lot! Moving on...
The "L.A.W. of Transportation" is an acronym for "Land, Air, and Water". Yes, I designed this thing so that you can use it as a car, as an airplane, and even as a boat. I definitely had a lot of fun with this thing. Now it's time that I pass it on to you, so Mr. pilot guy, here's the manual! Enjoy!
Pilot's Flight Manual:
Activation Groups (AG#)
AG1: Main Turbo Prop
AG2: Rear Thrusters
AG3: VTOL System & Hover Turbo Prop
AG4: Land Transportation
AG5: Flight Mode / Yaw System
AG6: Main Wheel Ejection System
AG7: Parachute Ejection System
AG8: Activates Gimbal System (Must Be Activated In Order To Fly)
GEAR: Raises/Lowers Secondary Wheels
Flight Manual Instructions:
Activation Groups 1 and 2 only activate the main engines. Both must be activated for best flight experience. Use the trim for "Autopilot Attitude or Pitch". Pushing the trim up will increase altitude. Pulling the trim down will decrease altitude. Keeping trim centered will attempt to maintain altitude.
Activation Group 3 will activate the VTOL system. To activate the main prop for VTOL, push the trim lever up. To turn aircraft while in VTOL mode, use yaw controls. To activate VTOL thrusters, pitch forward. VTOL thrusters are not enough to lift the aircraft off the ground. To change VTOL thrusters position from hover to forward, push VTOL lever up. To change VTOL thrusters position from hover to backward, pull VTOL lever down.
Activation Group 4 will activate ground system. Use the throttle to control engine power. Use yaw controls to turn left and right. Brakes will brake the vehicle. Unfortunately, there is no reverse controls.
Activation Group 5 will activate in air navigation. Yaw is the only action used in flight mode. Roll is somewhat useable, but is beta, and is still under testing. Yaw is done by an air braking system. To activate in air navigation, make sure that activation groups 1, 2, and 5 are the only groups activated. Use the VTOL lever to yaw the aircraft. Pushing the VTOL lever up yaws the aircraft left. Pulling the VTOL lever down yaws the aircraft right.
Activation Groups 6, 7, and 8 are independent and need no other type of activation for actions to be performed.
How to land. Landing can be tricky. To make landing easier, center VTOL lever, deactivate group 5, activate group 3, set trim in between the first two white markers at the top, drop throttle to 0% thrust, deactivate groups 1 and 2, pull VTOL lever down, pitch forward to activate VTOL thrusters and slow yourself down, use the VTOL thrusters to control your forward/backward speed and rate of descent. After touchdown, deactivate group 3 and set trim and VTOL to default points.

Mods:
This aircraft requires the "WHO NEEDS FUEL" mod. This doesn't mean infinite flight, it means longer flight time. It uses the "NoFuelBladeT3000" and the "NoFuelBlastoVTOL" engines which do not consume any fuel. Four BlastoJ15 engines are the only fuel consumption source. No other mods are needed for this aircraft. If you would like me to create a mod free version, you can leave a request provided with the "Contact Information" below. Just note that it will consume more fuel meaning less flight time. If you have any questions or issues with this project you may use the information provided below to contact me directly.
