Auto Credit Based on Meepmaster87's Proof of concept - Gyro
Ignoring the poor design of the helicopter, I am rather happy to present the first proof of concept for a gyroscopic high mobility craft. I must first thank @randomusername for aiding me in the gyroscopic brain (third picture) The concept is a rather simple one, using high power gyroscopes to replace flaps in order to increase mobility. This is the first craft, a simple helicopter. Use VTOL to increase/decrease the power of the main rotor Use throttle for increased Yaw stability Pitch, Roll and Yaw are all the same but are gyroscopic and non self righting. AG 1 to activate the stabiliser.
