A very small medium range training tiltrotor which despite having poor pitch controls rolls and yaws very well and is very smooth to fly. To improve pitching while turning move the engine naccels upwards to about 30-45 degrees and DO NOT try to be violent when transitioning between vertical and horizontal flight as it will spin. Try and get the aircraft moving at about 100-200mph forward (while gradually moving engine naccels to counter pitching) and then when ready for stable horizontal flight move the naccels fully forward. The aircraft reaches about 500mph in a straight line and is very fun to fly.
