HELP!!! WILL CREDIT
Alrighty! So I'm converting this Lancaster MK I(awesome job WIZARD2017) into a VTOL Spaceship of sorts.
Problems are:
constant left yaw
constant pitch up
I have no idea how to keep it suspended in air once engines are flipped for flight mode
Basic operation:
Normal controls
VTOL down to retract struts(which if some one could either point me in a direction to make better ones or do it themselves it would be an added bonus)
TRIM down for flight mode.
Currently for initial VTOL takeoff I have three vtol engines going to four rear outlets and two front and the at the end of the forward "wings" are two engines that switch between vtol and flight mode. The forward outlets do not rotate as I was trying to use them as constant lift but it doesn't work.
That's basically all I've got so far, gyros are exposed for maintence, never emptied the bomb-bay so don't crash and that's about it.
Didn't touch the original controls from the full plane so if you go to wizard's page they're the same. Thanks to anyone who helps out and as promised I'll credit anyone who gives me input/corrections. Good luck!
P.S: My inspiration is a bounty hunter ship from Star Wars, image found here- https://images.app.goo.gl/S4WVkFRzwgbZKjGL9

It actually is enough when you play with pitch. Just needs a slight balance as four vtol engines is too much but three is too little @edensk
Wait a minute just got what you're saying. I have rear vertical as well. If you'd read the description you'd know that I have to VTOL outlets in the rear. They're hidden inside the middle piece of the rear arms.
Going for the look and function I wanted, they need to stay fixed. @edensk
I mean I see it, but I don't know how to fix/do that. First time trying something like this so that's why I'm asking for tips and pointers as well. @edensk
Hey, it's a work in progress, besides they aren't really wings, just supports for the forward engines.@JamesBoA
