Prop driven vtol/stol flying wing. Vtol slider acts as a reversed helicopter collective. Roll and yaw are linked together and pitch rotates engines (left stick does nothing). Constant pitch and collective adjustments are needed if you are trying to hover, but it can be done with a bit of practice. While flying full speed foward, prop pitch can be reversed to bring the plane to a stop in mid air, but too much can cause a flat spin. It's fun to fly, but can get out of control in a hurry so slight control inputs are the way to go.
