The goal is simple : fly as high as you can (or not), then drop your heavy engine and glide majestuously to your destination.
How to use :
-VTOL backwards to sweep wings backwards. Deactivate 8 to keep wings in position.
-Take-off, retract landing gear
-Activate 1 to eject the undercarriage
-Once you're ready to glide, drop the engine by pressing 2
-Re-activate 8 to change the wing-sweep in accordance to your airspeed.
-Glide !

Oh and the glider can float so water landings can be done.
