Notes:
1. When taking off and landing, be sure to keep the throttle between about 40% and 60%.

3. Do not turn left or right sharply during landing or take off.

    Thank you! I'm working on a version 2 right now that has a more realistic cockpit and a moveable tail turret. It should be out eventually. @Logan001
