Delicate balance issues and a thirsty drive system where the drawback.
OPERATION: for Vertical take off set the throttle to between 32% and 35%, the aircraft is mostly balanced but slight pitch correction is necessary during assent (the aircraft can also be balanced using mini VTOL shifts). Use VTOL slider to rotate engine pods to horizontal flight and increase throttle. For vertical landings slow to about 90mph and bring pods upright and reduce thrust to 30%.
