Auto Credit Based on Thorondil's Tilt-Wing Cargo Plane
With a cargo area of 2x2x10 meters and carrying capacity of over 1 ton, this cargo craft would be great for short or no field operations! To transition safely to forward flight, increase throttle and use VTOL to control pitch until about 250mph, then put VTOL all the way up and fly like normal. Opposite (VTOL full down position) to slow down and land. Unloaded hover throttle is roughly 50%
