Since flightsim doesn't support flying saucers, you'll have to work either off a supersonic jet (check the samples in the FS9 aircraft\samples folder) and fiddle with the flaps to give you high lift, etc capabilities...

OR create two models - one with a helicopter style flight dynamics for slow/take off/landing and another with jet dynamics, for horizontal and fast flight.

There are a couple of flying saucers out there that have good flight dynamics. You might try modifying one of those for your use.
