    @11qazxc forgot to mention that you may have to use xml, but for cars, the only speed settng that works well is 1.5, but planes need to go higher

    I just understood, your rotator settings is s̶h̶i̶t̶ wrong.
    It's angular velocity is Throttle*12*180, or 2160 deegres per second at full throttle.
    But it's speed setting is 1.5, so it can not rotate faster than 1.5**2*270 or 607.5 deegres per second.
    .
    So,
    1. You can not get fullpower of rotator,
    2. If you push throttle to full, wait a bit, and then back to zero, rotator will not stop, and will rotate almost 4x more time than you need.
    .
    What do i need to do with it?
    Must i use it "as is", or do i need to edit it's speed or input?

    ok. This is my entry. It's a bit outdated, and if it doesn't fit rules i will modify it.

    @11qazxc no rules, but it must use this for the only source of propulsion
