A praying mantis insect in simple planes. Flying was too hard to make so I just made walking. No gyroscope, No fuel. Not based on any particular species I just built it off of memory.

How to use

Throttle to walk forward. Roll to turn, you can only turn while you are walking. Yaw and Pitch to move the head up and down and side to side, Don't keep holding down yaw or pitch if it doesn't let you go farther. AG1 to strike with the forelimbs. Its best to hold the arms above your target then strike down. The forelimbs and legs are collision proofed. AG2 to move the mouth. If you flip over you can sometimes self right with the arms.

Controls

Throttle - walk forward
Roll - Turn while walking
Pitch - raise and lower head
Yaw - move head side to side
AG1 - strike with arms
AG2 - move the mouth
