To start - AG1 + VTOL all the way up.

@RadarJamJar thank you! :)
@Fighterpilot91 sounds very interesting, can't wait to see it!
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.
@Randomdoggo haha, thank you!
@destroyerP surprisingly well I would say :D
@Fighterpilot91 of course, feel free to!
Oh, and thank you for the upvote!
@iwannabeelected np! Just tested this and it works amazingly well!
Is it okay if I post something built from this?
I will give credit as well as the auto credit

thank you guys!
@PositivePlanes thank you! :)
@DuckMint thank you for the upvote and the spotlight!
@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!
