A light VTOL bicopter (if there's such a word).

To takeoff:
1. Throttle to 100%
2. When high enough, VTOL down to switch to flight mode. If done at the right time the aircraft will not loop around.
To land:
1. Pray and hope for the best
2. Use VTOL middle and slightly up to slow down the aircraft, while also keeping the throttle high
3. Slow down to a very low speed while maintaining control of the Throttle and VTOL
4. Land softly by reducing throttle slowly
5. Congrats (I did it at Bandit final approach)
Notes:
- you can achieve slow flight with VTOL around middle, this is useful for landing
