30 Pt Challenge

Sky Taxi Semi-Futuristic

Controls

AG 1 Open side door
AG 2 Lights
Throttle Power up, works best at 100%
VTOL Lift (up/down). Hovers at around 70-75% up, don't 100% the whole way. Helicopter-like.
Pitch Down for forward flight; pull up/back to fly backwards. Well hold steady course forward when you pitch down, don't over pitch. You will need to pitch down/up to control flight. Don't over pitch unless you want to crash.
YAW This is how you turn. When you yaw to turn, you will have counter yaw/turn so you don't spin. You will need slight changes to yaw to control your flight.
Trim Additional forward/back ptich, slight controls.
Roll Don't over roll during flight, especially while pitching or yaw.

Background

I was inspired by the air taxi/car from Westworld and its clean but somewhat brutist style.

It was really wierd, when I went to scale the rotors down to hide them they lost their lift completely. So consider this an intermidate. economy, or future retro-future version.
