This is the prototype of the pitch and yaw counter weight mechanism. The concept is used to replace control surfaces. I plan to use this in a future build. Feel free to use it in your own build.

@salisbey thx dude. :)
@Kondicykel A good point on the weight shifting forward on roll. I also like the build you did with no wings.
Yesterday i made a plane with same concept.. just with no wing surface at all :) its still a struggle to controll but i think it may be posible somehow :)
this design is pretty but when u roll u also shift the weight a little forward :) i updated the design so it should in theory be more stable :)
@ccooper Yes, absolutely. Same principals, with the plane it changes CoM, causing the craft to pitch or roll.
@ccooper I originaly wanted to use this internaly. But was having some issues. So to test the concept I built this
