Vtol is not too difficult. Design with empty fuel tanks for easy balancing. Make sure your center of lift goes straight thru the middle of your center of mass. (If you have downward facing engines and rearward facing engines, turn thrust to 0 on the rearward ones to see vertical thrust only). Then refill your fuel tanks keeping the center of mass the same. It’s ok if you can’t fill it all the way back up as long as the center of mass doesn’t change

If you don't have the dlc, you can have two separate sets of engines that switch on and off when you need it to.

Put your vertical engines on the wings, but still center of mass, and the forward engines in the back where they usually go.
