This vehicle behaves like helicopter and plane
Yaw authority is low, this can be tricky at high horizontal speeds


Power up

1. Set Main Electrical Switch (MES) to ON
2. Make sure voltage on the battery is above 24 volts
• if battery low, use external charging inlet to restore charge
3. Set Reactor switch to ON
4. Once Reactor at full power set Engine bus to ON
5. Turn ON MFD
5. Toggle Strobe lights to ON
6. Deploy blades hotkey 2
7. Press Engine Start button


1. Turn ON GYRO
2. Turn ON Auto Flight System (AFS)
3. Dial in desirable altitude
4. Set AFS to ALT hold (ALT H)
5. Retract landing gear hotkey 3



1. Turn ON GYRO
2. Use Up/Down axis to control altitude
3. Retract landing gear hotkey 3

You can use W/S and A/D axis to move horizontally, however you will loose altitude.You can compensate low pitch or roll inputs with Up/Down axis, this feature disabled if you're using ALT H. Alternatively, you can use Thrust spoiler to increase directional speed.

When hovering, you can climb with maximum rate of 1 meter per second, so in order to climb faster you need to climb like a plane. Gain speed, pitch up.
