How to fly

For players who want to fly it on final approaches, flick the lever or activate AG 1.
For players who want to be launched from the ground using updrafts, open dev console then type SetWindSpeed 0 2 0. Once the craft reaches 60 km/h, VTOL down then flick the lever/activate AG1 to fly.

Yes. No more such basic fuselage wings. I tried the complex one and it somewhat worked. No custom control surfaces for now.

VTOL and trim down to attain stable fight. Landing is tricky, so land gently then bring the nose to the ground while braking. When turning, pitch gently and slowly. Yawing may help stabilize the craft.
