AG 1: nothing AG 2: landing lights. AG 3: nothing. AG 4: ground steering. AG 5: nothing. AG 6: nothing. AG 7: nothing. AG 8: lights on/off. VTOL: engine angle. TRIM UP: airbrakes. TAKEOFF: in takeoff, you do not need to increase or decrease engine angle, all you need to do is increase throttle to 100%. This airplane has auto takeoff, so there is no need to do anything with the elevators. Infact, all you need them for is emergancies or when you're landing. MIDFLIGHT: the average angle you need the engines at to cruise at is 4/5 upwards. LANDING: when landing put engine angle to 4/5 and throttle to 60% landing speed should be 200-250 MPH. This is probably the first plane I actually tried making good. I currently don't have a name for it but never the less I still think It's pretty cool. It's about the size of a 737. The solar panels are all located on the main wing.
