This has close to neutral 'buoyancy' in the air and therefore is reasonably easy for 'fine' manoeuvring.
- Camera 1
- Pitch = forward / reverse.
- Roll = (swivel) left/right.
- Yaw left - thrust down.
- Yaw right - thrust up.
- AG4 for main engine.
- AG5 for booster (fast forward).
1. AG4 to launch Drone.
2. Yaw right (thrust up) until clear.
3. AG5 for speed.
Feel free to use.

@SpiritusRaptor ah, yes.
Same issue. If set upa rotor as manual ie. control prop without a governor, its not bad, but requires a lot of finicky handling with prop pitch and throttle so engines don’t overspeed... painful @PyrusEnderhunter
@SpiritusRaptor Why not make a dual rotor?
@SpiritusRaptor Ah.
@PyrusEnderhunter I tried making a quad copter, but very difficult to get the propellers really controllable (up/down and left /right etc.) so I went for jet engines and RCNs instead.
@SpiritusRaptor I know, but this is a weird drone.
@PyrusEnderhunter Something you can fly around the place?!? Like a quad copter but using a jet engine instead.
@SpiritusRaptor what is this drone???
@PyrusEnderhunter What do you mean?
What is you?
