This is essentially a type of VTOL - just using jet engines as it is much easier to get the CoM and CoT perfectly balanced. Slide the VTOL up until you find the "hover point" then move the slider just below it so you're still just on the ground. Then use pitch to control the forwards and backwards engines. Enjoy!
