Flight instruction:
Flight controls are still as normal, no alterations to the pitch roll or yaw axis. The VTOL slider controls the downward deflection of the wingtip, which deflects downwards at a maximum of 45 degrees. Trim slider controls the pitch trim. For takeoff, set trim to max, and throttle up. Once airborne, adjust trim as necessary. Cruising altitude is at 10500 meters (~34500 ft), where it can reach a top speed of around Mach 1.8. Landing is a bit more tricky, get the centerline of the runway very early, and decrease engine power. Closely monitor the airspeed, making sure it does not drop below 300 kph. Watch the sink rate, and apply breaks immediately after touchdown.

Announcements:
Hello people, as usual, thank you for your time if you have made it this far down. This is my first go at the civil aviation sector, which in retrospect didn't go great but didn't turn out too bad either. I've been getting bored of making military aircrafts all the time since I realize that all of them started to look the same (simply put, I don't have a lot of creativity). Building this was a nice refresher, and I hope you enjoy the Canary! I'll be going back to military aircrafts soon, so stay tuned.
