Inspired by the Clint Eastwood movie Fire fox, this plane will go beyond 1500 mph. unlike the movie plane this one has the vtol option. Normal take off, activate group 1, move vtol to forward thrust and be ready to lift the nose when you hit full throttle. Vertical take off. Don't activate group 1 til your up high enough for comfort. vtol engines to vertical. apply throttle. you can now switch vtol to normal flight or activate group 1. either way be ready to pull up the nose. trim works well to. for max speed go higher than 20,000 feet and have group 1 engines on and vtol engines forward flight. This plane is stable, but really sensitive at maneuvers and very agile. Can hold missiles of your choice. to slow down at a med or high altitude throttle to 0. turn off group 1 engines and resume with vtol engines. On landing you can use vtol engines in reverse for air brake effect and between vtol and throttle, you can choose your own preference of landing method. This plane is easy to fly once you get use to it.
