"You've heard of thrust vectoring, now get ready for mass vectoring."
Not the most stable, and the excuse is proof of concept. Uses a heavy cube to change its center of mass and make the thruster turn it. CoM is moved with Yaw and Pitch, and Roll is achieved by spinning the mass.
You need to make small pitch movements at low speeds otherwise its' AoA will become greater than a 5th generation air dominance fighter. (and then it will be difficult to understand what is going on)

@BreadLord77 Well yes and no. A gyroscope uses a slightly different concept. A gyroscope works because when an object is spinning fast it will resist a change in direction. This part of why you can ride a bike, and why tops stay up when they spin. P.S. Sorry for the weird rant.
@101Dood101 okay so ive been thinking and thats basically just a really inefficient gyroscope so im gonna drop the project, will upload an unlisted from what ive built so far... later...
@101Dood101 i will try doing that
It's an interesting concept but I think that it would work better if you made it just a cube that rotates in three axis.
