To start - AG1 + VTOL all the way up.

    Interestingly im not using it as an engine but I did nudge the pistons closer to the Center.
    I've made it in to a proof of concept instrument/gauge
    I've tried to make the same instrument before the update and it didn't work but the electromagnets make if work now.

    @Fighterpilot91 btw you can remove pistons and replace them with 1 length fuselage parts or anything else you wish. It will work as long as there is proper distance between magnets and the rotor.

    @randomusername I think it worked for me occasionally, but anyway, I don't think it's a problem as long as it works on high. Thanks for checking out!
