This plane is the result of me thinking in my head, "What's the goofiest VTOL that I can think of?" The result is this. It is a jet that achieves VTOL through two lift jets and two main engines that rotate on wingtip mounts. It also has leading edge root extensions and fully functioning canards. This is the last plane that I made on my old phone because I just recently had my phone upgraded. Meaning that the next plane you see from me will have been built from my new phone.
STOL Takeoff
Step 1 (Activate Ag4)
Step 2 (Activate Ag5)
Step 3 (Set VTOL Slide all the way up)
Step 4 (Throttle up the main engine to 60-70%)
Step 5 (Lift off the Runway and gain a few hundred feet)
Step 6 (Turn off Ag5 and gain some speed)
Step 7 [Set VTOL slider to 0, wait a few seconds, and then turn off Ag4, adjust trim as necessary before aircraft stabilizes (harder when the aircraft has a larger load)]
VTOL Takeoff
Step 1 (Activate Ag4)
Step 2 (Activate Ag5 & Ag6)
Step 3 (Set VTOL Slide all the way up)
Step 4 (Lift off the Runway and gain a few hundred feet)
Step 5 (Turn off Ag6 and gain some speed using the throttle for the main engine, you can leave Ag5 on for a little if you want to gain a little more height before fully adjusting to conventional flight)
Step 7 [Set VTOL slider to 0, wait a few seconds, and then turn off Ag4, adjust trim as necessary before aircraft stabilizes (VTOL can be achieved with a large load, but it's not very pleasant)]
Landing
Slow the aircraft down and activate Ag4 and Ag5 for a STOL landing, or Ag5 & Ag6 for a VTOL. Throttle down and use the lift jets to keep yourself in the air as you use the brake, you can also pitch the nose up and the use the aircraft's body to slow down. Once you've slowed down enough, you may perform your landing, this is most likely going to be harder than taking off.
