FAF Totally Accurate Hot Air Balloon

Backstory

After the invention of homosapien and cyborg compatibility, Matty, using 1.2 billion dollars, bought a cyborg replica of himself so he could do videos FOREVER because he is the best YouTuber. He had always loved planes, and flown all kind he could think of in his YouTube career, but the one thing he had never flown was a hot air balloon. Using his cybernetic database, he could mentally search for the blueprints to one, and build it himself. Not only that but his body was upgraded as well, so the task was simple, and done in record time. 3 days, 21 hours, 47 minutes, and 18.35 seconds later, a magnificent creation stands before him. The same one in the picture over there

Flight Controls

(50% VTOL up is not only level flight but also recommended for take-off)

VTOL up to ascend, 50% for level flight, 100% for quick ascent
VTOL neutral for deactivation of all engines
VTOL down for quick decent, releasing coolant into the balloon

(anything less than 50% VTOL up makes it descend)

Trim up for acceleration, variable speed at your discretion
Trim neutral for zero forward movement

Yaw to turn

Landing

For a stationary landing- Barely below 50% VTOL, and set Trim back to 0, this will make you slowly descend

For moving landing- Barely below 50% VTOL, and set trim to where you are the same, or a little bit faster than the object you are attempting a landing on, once on shut off VTOL but do not shut off Trim, it will cause it to roll back off of the object due to drag.

Enjoy

(Not to scale, not accurate turning or handling, just fun to fly, and easy to land)

Thanks to SledDriver for not only the idea but also the round top
