A space reconnaissance/exploration craft loosely based on the Lakon Diamondback explorer from Elite dangerous. I'm wondering if someone can provide assistance in rebalancing the VTOL system. it tips nose up on takeoff even with thrusters either side of the aircraft CG, and main engines off. Ag 1 and VTOL down- retract gear. Ag 8- toggle VTOL engine

    You can use gyroscopes to stabilize it while take-off. Using activation groups you can turn it on or off(example Ag 1 to activate or deactivate it)

    @FalconGT12 No, the two turbojets contribute to the CoT
