Mechanical Two-Axis Control System

This is just mechanical build with a simple Two-Axis control system that I built. You only have rudder and pitch. All the controls are basic with nothing special. Although I will say that it has some strange stalling characteristics at high angles of attack, so be warned. Also, when using the rudder to turn, use a light amount of rudder. Over-correcting can also cause flatspins. Have fun flying - ThePrototype

@Jacobdaniel thanks man
Thank you for all the upvotes @SakuraSaku
very clever use
@ThePrototype whatever, but try something new... Maybe it is effective to gain more upvotes
@ThePrototype yes! I'm a big fan of novel creations in this game. Especially when it's something other than a super fast fighter haha
Mechanical car? @aplayer
@ThePrototype Make a car, can you?
@aplayer Thanks dude, any thoughts on the build?
@Simplemike Thanks, any thoughts on the build?
It was meant to be easy to fly and just a quick build, it would be an easy conversion to add ailerons. But thanks for the feedback. @Kalanimcd
@ThePrototype try adding a roll axis, when the rudders are used the plane tends to tilt, when trying to correct it usually goes into a flatspin and then a dive.
@Kalanimcd Thanks man
:) @ThePrototype
Thank you, just a simple build to start uploading again. @OC3LOT1142
Noice! Very cool idea!
@VerldVarlll thank you! Any thoughts on the plane?
