FIX 1.1 at https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/6s6i8H/PQ-MP-Swallow-VTOL-01-FIX-1-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Swallow is a multipurpose military vtol aircraft, it's main role is to carry supplies to the front line but it's also capable of close air support. It can also take off and land on water.
CONTROLS
Group 1 activates the VTOL rotors.
Group 2 activates the main engines.
NOTES
This is my first VTOL so it's likely not as refined as others.
Keep the VTOL rotors balanced in transition.
If you take off vertically at 100% throttle it will likely pitch up as the air cathes the tail.
If you de-activate group 2 you can use the remaning thrust to taxi on land and water.
P.S FIX 1.1 has better balance and added missiles to group 4, 5 and 6

Why the need for activation groups 1 and 2?
In any case, pretty, unique and works nice, good job.
@Noman0rumeral thank you : ) I'm planing on doing an update to it but I'm still working on just how much detail/stuff I need to add (if you know of something it needs just let know : )....) So far I have added torpedos and adjusted the VTOL power...
@Pauciloquent There's nothing wrong with that. If you keep improving a plane, IMO that deserves the upvotes.
@AndrewGarrison Sorry for disturbing you but i was wondering if there is a better way linking fixes for an already uploaded plane like this one, the fixed version only has 3 downloads compared to this one with 212 downloads... Or is it best to just delete the original one, I don't want to get multiple upvotes on basically the same plane... feels a bit too spammy to me...
Good job! I really enjoyed flying this plane, the VTOL works pretty well and the details are nice too.
