Who needs roll controls? Ku.18 Mosquito

Alright so what started as an experiment to create the Muspell fighters from Battle Engine Aquila turned in to a fun way to fly about on nothing but pitch and yaw - although the yaw controls are actually mapped to your roll controls, because (on the layout I use, at least) this means you still control everything with the right on-screen joystick.

Be sure to start in the air. It can also take a bit of getting used to flying about at whatever angle you happen to end up at. I added a camera at the front in case you want to move the cockpit view down a bit without it springing back.
