Simple Mechanical Plane

I built this because I was bored, and it’s nearly unflyable. But, it does indeed fly. It’s been 3 days of straight thunderstorms and I only just got power again, and thus my phone back. I may or may not have reverse engineered- no, “was inspired by” @ThePrototype’s Mechanical Two-Axis Control System and I’m pretty proud I got this to work. My next challenge will be to make a roll system for this airframe. I tried to make this as compact as possible, and I did so pretty successfully. Enjoy,

    Yes, but I wanted to make it a challenge for me. I’m going to make another version with a more realistic look, this was more of a test. Also, thanks for your upvote! @Gbhole
