    Hello, this is NOT a VTOL aircraft, it just uses those engines for thrust. Before engine start, the VTOL control on left needs to be in its highest position. Thrust control (Throttle) is the trim slider on right. It too, should be in its highest position before switching start switch. Once down the runway at 180-200mph slide VTOL down 1/8 to bring up the nose of aircraft for take off. Then immediately slide VTOL to highest position. It might sound complicated, but it's really not. This aircraft is fun to fly, holds very steady for Interceptor missiles to lock up, and can turn and burn better then some fighter jets. Please have fun and tell me what you think. Z
