Hovering anytime is the challenging part. Once you master that, you can hover anytime or straight speed on the tarmac and lift. Neila in reverse is AliEN..raise VTOL all the way up and increase throttle100% at above 100 mph..right stick down and gears up. And off you go. You can also hover but you have to balance the thrust then angle down to build speed at 44-50mph increase VTOL all the way up,then control pitch to level NEILA...easy for some, hard for others. And you can slow down very fast once you have landed by decreasing VTOL down and thrust at 100% then VTOL control at middle to stop or you will do a fast pushback..It's an immediate stop. It will be a challenge but it is doable..and different ports have different wind direction. Challenge the hover lift or just give up and speed on the tarmac for a lift.Also water proof!
