Just a quick build exploring the possibilities of PID regulators. They are not well trimmed, but it's still lotsa fun to play with

Controls:
VTOL for Lift
Pitch yaw and roll for direction

Deactivating Ag8 turns VTOL from relative to absolute, you'll know what that means if you test it out. It also increases the max speed

I'll upload a list of useful formulas soon, so stick around if you're interested

    this one is pretty alright, bit slow maybe but perhaps they are supposed to be

    @3AMIndustries actually i meant creations from other users, i always love when some stupid thing i did gets used by others for cool contraptions

    I can’t wait to see how far you go (as long as it isn’t over 1250 parts lmao) @PilotOfFuture

    @3AMIndustries so true. I`ve built something similar useing the ground effect of the heli rotors before, but using PIDs and VTOL engines sure makes everything easier. I hope I'll get to see lots of cool creations using this :D

    @An2k I'm glad i might have offered a solution :D

    word of advice, set the I in your PID to 0 when using stuff where the input changes randomly. It's more trouble than it's worth..

    Nice ..ive been experimenting on PID ..i always fail to stop it while moving cuz im using simple airbrakes ..this may be the solution..ow plz do tag me when you release those usefull formula u mentioned..will like to learn more
