@asteroidbook345
unfortunately it doesn't seem to have any effect, its impossible to stop it yawing constantly without making it unable to turn
@asteroidbook345
Where exactly should it be placed relative to the COM?
@asteroidbook345
I guess it could have wings, it is a custom design but i don’t see how some wing-less VTOL vehicles work flawlessly yet mine keeps encountering balance issues
@Ultra0 T-5?
@OrangeConnor
Its a custom small attack shuttle with an artillery weapon that’s loosely based off a T-5 deliverance
is that a tiny lamba-class shuttle?
Ah. In that case, you should only have one gyroscope, at the CoM of the aircraft. Adjust the location of your engines to balance your CoT with your CoM, if you haven’t already done that. You will need to tweak with your gyroscope’s speed and stability. Let’s say, a stability of 2 with a much higher speed (start with 10).
@spefyjerbf
Yes it relies on gyroscopes for turning and stability since it doesnt use wings
Hm. Just by looking at it I can say that the gyro setup is what is wrong. Is this build supposed to always have the gyro on?
@Shippy456 there, instead of wings, are structural panels
@13579buick you are moving in the right direction
I'm still working on it and somehow your thrust is too low, it veers to the right like hell but at least it doesn't yaw negatively anymore. I changed your Nozzle position
Or... maybe that’s not the problem.
@Ultra0 that's weird
Well here’s the problem: you don’t have any vertical stabilizers. That’s why the shuttle keeps veering to the right.
@Ouroboros
Yes, it has 2 gyros but i can’t find a way to stabilise the yaw
@13579buick
Its meant to take off using VTOL and then fly without it, however yaw ruins it
Tried using a gyro?
Do you prefer it to be a conventional take off craft instead ?
