So my goal was to make a plane but without any engine and without any controle surfaces. Also i didn´'t want to use any in game servos/ rotation blocks or hinges. I guess it worked quite well. Controles: TG3 to detach the base TG2 to detach the engine TG1 to activate the flapping wings. To keep your altitude you need a throttle of about 35% I wouldn´'t recommend going higher than 50%
The jet engine is just there to help you get of the ground if you want to and the base is there so you can test and see how it works
