Made this for a bit of a giggle... And to see if it was at all possible. Would be a shame if I wasted your time by you downloading it only to find out it doesn't work. Many unhappy players saying: "Oi, Squirrel. You wasted 5 mins of my life m8." But fear not, as this potato does indeed fly... albeit badly due to control restrictions that I shall now go on to talk about. Note to ones self, assuming normal flight will result in body parts gracefully falling onto the nearest hilltop, so with that in mind, one should also note the following:

1) only 'Pitch down' is to be used for elevator movements as well as throttle control

2) 'Yaw left/right' rolls the aircraft

Now fly onwards with this new found knowledge and until next time, happy flying.

    @salvador3031 Yeah, I guess it is! In all honesty though, I literally only made it because I wanted to see if it was possible to use RCN to make something fly XD

    @salvador3031 It took a while to sort the controls out, but it got there in the end... Kind of tempted to see how far I can take this concept in terms of the size of the aircraft XD
