VTOL controls the rudder

Trim controls the rope length. So, DO NOT expect to bring it into the negatives for the opposite angle. The wind will put it to the optimal side, you just need to find the correct amount of rope to let out.

Correct trim value is based on two primary factors:
- Your angle to the wind
~ 0 at 45*
~ 0.5 at 90*
~ 1 at 180*
- Your speed
- lower speed = higher value
- higher speed = lower value
