Both of you don't fly.

If the thrust isn't on centerline, you offset the thrust to compensate. The pacer I owned had 3 degrees down and two degrees right. Built into the mount tubes. You could go full throttle and not need to re trim until the airspeed got much faster. Might need to do right rudder, but that was P force and airspeed sensitive.

Even with the motor off, there is still a forward component otherwise the big fan on top slows down. Might be less than walking speed, but that will include a steep descent. This is illustrated by the slowing the rotor to a stop after landing through drag (although some have brakes on the mast).
