Flight instructions:
- Swivel engines all the way up (h key swivels up and n key down)
- Activate SAS and action group 1
- The aircraft should easily take off at around 1/6 throttle
- To transition, begin gaining forward speed and slowly swivel engines fforward while increasing throttle
- To land, decrease throttle to around 1/6 and bring engines back into vertical flight configuration, once in vertical flight, you can reduce the throttle to zero and the aircraft will descend
- Note that attempting to yaw while in forward flight will result in the airplane wanting to roll
