Thank you to jamesPLANESii for letting me use his PA-28 as a guide

History:

The AP-29 is a revolutionary aircraft for 2015.
Since the idea of tilt-rotor aircraft in the 1930s and after the second world war, the concept of an aircraft with tilt-rotor capabilities in the general aviation market was created.
But the concept was never pursued.

But then the company Lightning Aircraft Industries came along and straight-up built the concept aircraft, and in 2015, what they produced was the AP-29.
The design of the AP-29 was loosely inspired by the Piper PA-28 but was radically different.
The AP-29 had a low slung mono-wing, which was unusual for tilt-rotor aircraft, which are typically high-wing aircraft.
But the AP-29 worked extremely well.

One great change in its design was that it mostly used carbon-fibre materials to help make the aircraft more efficient by greatly reducing the weight.
This also allowed the aircraft to carry more fuel, giving it a larger range.
Its two LAI BV-68 piston engines were the best ones for the airframe as they were small enough, but combined, provided enough power to allow the AP-29 to have VTOL and STOL capabilities.

But the AP-29 could also be used as a regular aircraft in takeoff and landing. It was equipped with a powerful gyroscopic stabilizer as well. And for safety, the aircraft was also equipped with a safety parachute. In total, over 20,000 AP-29's have been produced, and it's still in production.

Controls:

AG-1: Landing Lights
AG-2: Navigation and Beacon Lights
AG-3: Strobe Lights
AG-4: Deploy Parachute
AG-8: Deactivate/Activate Gyro
VTOL-UP: Rotate Engines

Takeoff, Flight and Landing:

For VTOL takeoff, set engines in the up position (by default) and throttle up to full power, gain altitude, set trim to full, rotate engines to halfway, and off you go.
For normal takeoff set engines to halfway, full power and rotate at 60 mph. >For flight have engines primarily set at halfway with full trim (engines can be adjusted as preferred).
For VTOL landing, approach at 100-120 mph, then set engines to up, wait to slow down, then throttle down to just under 85%, and descend.
For normal landing, approach at 100-130 mph with engines at halfway, then set engines to up just before touch-down for a softer landing.

Creator notes

This is my first time making a cockpit like this one, so it probably looks somewhat bad.
It's also my first time using fuselage inlets as part of the livery.
You are free to customize this to your liking because it's a GA aircraft
