I saw where several people were trying to develop a thrust vectoring setup that was both stable and compact.
I came up with a gimbal system using pistons.
I made a quick jet to attach it to using spare parts from other projects and left all the working components exposed. Enjoy!
Group 1 - vertical
Group 2 - Horizontal
The pistons are all tied to pitch and yaw but I also tested it with VTOL for more control.
