Ever wanted a plane that could, y’know, stabilize itself on the pitch axis by using automated control surfaces? Well, that’s far in the future, so get comfy with gyroscopes.

Except at Valansanoid Aerospace Inc., the future is now! With live-update input about the plane’s orientation on the pitch axis, the Clockmaster I will intelligently* orient its back fins to keep its attitude, and it has been carefully** balanced to keep its stuff together!

This plane comes to you straight from the denizens of the future, and yet made in an outdated brass style, so if you want to look stylishly anachronistic in every way, look no farther!

Note: Gravimetric sensor configuration causes the plane to vehemently resist any and all rotation on the ROLL axis, so start using the YAW a bit more often - and try not to attract the attention of any missiles, or run out of fuel. Can’t have any needless frivolities like landing gear stopping us, now can we?
Also, don’t press [8]. It’ll void your warranty.

This plane has no cognition of its own.

It also has been balanced relatively haphazardly, though it stood up to all of our testing.
