F/A-13 Dragon
This is a multirole, VTOL Fighter utilizing lift jets and a swiveling nozzle at the rear. So that you know what to expect, this plane is not particularly easy to fly when transitioning in and out of VTOL or STOL, but it can still take off and land normally and you will still have fun that way.

Ag1-Drop Fuel Tanks
Ag2- Master Arm
Ag3- Jettison Air-to-Ground Weapons
Ag4- Activate Lift Jets, Gyro, and RCS
Ag5- STOL mode for rotating Nozzle
Ag6- VTOL mode for rotating Nozzle
Ag8- Primary Engines (On by default)
VTOL- Throttle for Lift Jets

STOL Takeoff
Step 1 (Activate Ag4)
Step 2 (Activate Ag5)
Step 3 (Set Trim to 1/2 down)
Step 4 (Set VTOL Slide all the way up)
Step 5 (Throttle up the main engine to 40%)
Step 6 (Lift off the Runway and gain a few hundred feet)
Step 7 (Turn off Ag5 and gain some speed)
Step 8 [Set VTOL slider to 0, wait a few seconds, and then turn off Ag4, adjust trim as necessary before aircraft stabilizes (harder when the aircraft has a larger load)]
VTOL Takeoff
Step 1 (Activate Ag4)
Step 2 (Activate Ag6)
Step 3 (Set Trim to 1/2 down)
Step 4 (Set VTOL Slide all the way up)
Step 5 (Lift off the Runway and gain a few hundred feet)
Step 6 (Turn off Ag6 and gain some speed using the throttle for the main engine)
Step 7 [Set VTOL slider to 0, wait a few seconds, and then turn off Ag4, adjust trim as necessary before aircraft stabilizes (VTOL can't be achieved with a large load)]
Landing
Slow the aircraft down and activate Ag4 and either Ag5 or Ag6 depending on which landing you want to perform. Throttle down and use the lift jets to keep yourself in the air as you use the brake, you can also pitch the nose up and the use the aircraft's body to slow down. Once you've slowed down enough, you may perform your landing, this is most likely going to be harder than taking off.
