Have fun exploring the island in this fun and possibly slightly over powered blimp. to take off throttle to 100% and almost immediately put the VTOL slider up to near the top, about 1.5 notches. Use pitch to keep the nose level or slightly below the horizon. To gain altitude lower the VTOL slider down to but not below center. Using pitch too much either way will lose altitude, takes a little getting used to. Roll too heavily will lose altitude, so keep it to a minimum and don't forget to counter with the VTOL slider to keep level while turning. Yaw is available but doesn't seem to be very effective.

    I had a Hindenburg disaster with it... Not on purpose, by the way. I don't know how to fly it, but it's too adorable to delete.

    @Stormraided It's technically a VTOL without wings, so has permanent downwards thrust as well as forward/backwards thrust assigned to the slider. The sharp pitch is due to it also being assigned to a couple of the VTOL thrusters at the back of the ship but not the front. Without it you'd get little movement at all as the RCNs are not effective enough without being further spread out. Yes, it's difficult but only like a child's first time riding a bike, once you learn how it handles, it becomes easier and easier.

    Wow. I was able to spot every sasqwench on the island by flying this baby. Solid work. Does naturally pitch upwards though
