    @kingofcreepers Because I wanted them. I know they are not accurate, but I liked the idea of being able to taxi around on land. You can land the plane on them, but that was not my true intention for them.

    @electronmember1 When you are going to land move the Vtol slider all the way down. Drop the throttle to 0-8% and let the plane touch the ground/water at around 80 Mph. when you do touch the water/land, pull up on the elevator as hard as you can, this should keep the nose of the plane up and prevent it from flipping. I find that reducing the throttle to zero and letting the plane glide down on its own is easiest. Practice makes perfect!

    It's really hard to land the plane.
    Whenever I touch water, or a runway, it just flips over.

    Get into it! It's a steep learning curve, but kits help make knowing all the parts, names, how they work, and how do it all a bit more simple. There are a bunch of tutorials! Does take dedication though, but the end result is awesome! @Mathieson

    @TTHHSSSS Nice! Ive always had an interest in FPV racing. I myself have a decent sized collection of RC vehicles. Several planes, a boat and three cars/trucks. No FPV vehicles though.
