This contraption will start to hover around 55% throttle (at least it did on my computer). After that it is up to you to maintain altitude and overcome vertical momentum, but at full throttle it will fairly quicly slow the descent and start to rise. I left the gyro poking out a little bit on the top to make it easier to tweak - if you want. There's a little bit of VTOL controlled tilt adjustment in the engine mounts, but not much. Enjoy!
