Throttle up for take off.

    Yeah, tried without the gyros and it was wonky. I never meant for it to fly originally...just to sit ontop of the tower, but then I though...why not. Wasn’t going to post it alone either, but someone requested I do, to my surprise. @Aarons123

    Also when you turn the gyro off it doesn’t handle the best due to it’s tiny wings and how sensitive it’s roll is

    @Tarquez it would be nice to have the wings be thin fuselage pieces with the circular edge type as the big blocky wings look un realistic. Just get some Xml modded tiny wings which provide a ton of lift and put them in the fuselage, someone has probably uploaded Xml modded wings somewhere

    Thanks for the upvote. I wish I could work on better wing flexing when using gyros, but with such a small plane, I don’t think it could be helped. Any suggestions? @Aarons123
