HISTORY:
This is just a simple nondescript air ship designed with a modern aesthetic.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Activate Action Group 1 to engage the VTOL engines and nozzles. The VTOL engines and nozzles are required to provide the air ship with lift force, it cannot fly without them. Throttling the thrust of the VTOL engines is done through moving the trim slider. Move the trim slider upward from the center position to increase thrust and make the air ship rise. Move the trim slider back to the center position to decrease thrust and make the air ship descend. Do so slowly and gently.

Move the VTOL slider upward from the center position to rotate the VTOL nozzles forward. Move the VTOL slider downward from the center position to rotate the VTOL nozzles backward. These controls are helpful for boosting and braking the air ship respectively. Just like the trim slider, these controls must be manipulated slowly and gently. Do not rotate the VTOL nozzles too far forward or backward, otherwise the air ship will lose its lift force.

Activate Acton Group 2 to engage the gyroscopes. The gyroscopes will assist in stabilizing the air ship. The gyroscopes will also improve the responsiveness of the yaw input. Four directional nozzles will be activated as well, they help to pivot-steer the air ship while hovering.

Activate Action Group 3 to illuminate the exterior lights.
