High Altitude Waypoint Missions.
To perform the jump, take a position at an altitude of 7-8 km and speed 600m/s face to waypoint. When the distance to WP is reduced to length of branch of current orbit (from craft to impact point) set authority limiter of nose winglets to 1°-2°.
Start pitchup smoothly (use CapsLock) til angle of trajectory reachs 45°.
After that return authority limiter to 9°.
Use the appropriate amount of fuel. Fill tanks proportionally, to keep CoM in the right place.

.
Surface Waypoint Missions / Rover missions.
Riding:
Use additional wheels when you ride surface (AG1).
Do not use LY version (wheels without brakes) for surface missions,
because of most impossible stop the plane to period of time on angled surface.
Use more additional wheels (especially for wings rear ends) if you can, to delay the inevitable end.
Be brave, be careful and God bless you.

Use flaps (AG4).
Don`t forget to RETRACT additional wheels BEFORE start of takeoff!
