15 eff1ncoma757  9.3 years ago

This the VTOL Prop Torpedo (VTOL PT). The VTOL PT is a recreational aircraft that is fairly difficult to learn how to fly. DO NOT START IN THE AIR. To takeoff, power up the engines once you are ready to lift off. Before or right after lifting off the ground, use the VTOL to set the angle at which you wish to fly at (VTOL DOWN points the engines forward and visa versa). The 2nd arrow from the bottom makes the wings parallel to the fuselage. Activate VTOL control of the wings with 1 when you feel you are at a safe enough altitude to do so. Once you start to lift off the craft will start to lean back counter act this by pitching down. you can lock the pitch off the wings by deactivating 1. Recommend landing on water until you have confidence in your ability to land the Torpedo on the ground. Once you are flying the pitch is touchy, do not give to much input. Flat spins if to much input is given
