Auto Credit Based on Visify's Proteus - X8
This is really just to test whether I could make a single engine version of Visify's awesome engine design. it has a ridiculous amount of torque so I looked into some historical solutions to this. an Italian ww2 fighter had one wing longer than the other. I also did this. it helped, but not enough. Move the trim up all the way once you're in the air to fly somewhat straight. this thing is a hand full to fly. I'll work on miniaturizing the engine so it can be used in a more sensible looking design but don't expect fast progress. Visify did an amazing job figuring out that that would work.

Interesting design! I'll be working on a counter-rotating engine this weekend to eliminate the torque problem.
I will scale the engine
