This is the new and improved version of my previous X-Wing. This will be my last installment of this star fighter. I have updated some aspects of this craft, but mostly the controls are the same, they are as follows:

AG2 + Trim up - VTOL takeoff

Landing Gear - Retracts landing struts

VTOL up - Seperates the wings

So far no proton torpedoes, mostly because I do not know where they go on the actual X - wing. I'll leave that to someone else.

<VTOL TAKEOFF PROCEDURE>

First, you are going to activate AG2, then pull the trim slider all the way up. After that you will need to activate your throttle, pull in your landing gear, then deactivate AG2 and your done.

<VTOL LANDING PROCEDURE>

This is extremely difficult, I'm the one who made it and I've only done it once or twice (then again i crash a lot with the best planes so...). But the best way to land it is to approach the LZ (landing zone) and begin to decrease your throttle to about 50-60% and adjust your trim to abut half the way up. Then you want to activate AG2 and wait until you are significantly closer to your LZ. Decrease throttle even further (to about 10-15%) and begin your descent towards your LZ. when you get close to the ground, increase your trim to a few notches above the second-highest triangle. extend your landing gear if you haven't already. If you don't get it the first time, no sweat (it took me 5 times to not flip the thing when it nicked the ground).

Enjoy my craft, it was fun to make and play with. Add any features I missed, and tell me about them in the comments.
