I tested it, and found that while it is a great idea on paper, it doesn’t really translate well into good handling characteristics. I think one issue is propulsion, and that a propeller prop should be used. I will make some modifications and see how it goes
@BaconEggs Thanks :)
Kind of a neat idea, looks cool indeed
