If you are wondering what this is, it's basically a pod on a free-spinning rotator with a plane. In english, the cockpit stays level as the wings don't.

@zxpirana Can you translate that in English?
j'en ais fait une version moi aussi
@Wahoo12 oh okay, just wondering
@megaapplepiee it makes the plane super hard to control. I made one like that way back and I found that I needed to replace the roll control with classic wings.
@BaconEggs but how do you make dat pod stays upwards???
@DanAviation There cannot be anything excessive that effects weight distribution, which would effect the way the pod is rotated.
@megaapplepiee Yeah, I guess for another plane.
Could you make it so that the rotator rolls the wings and you wont need control sufaces for roll?
@BaconEggs how did you do that pod stays up? Coz when i make another plane with this concept and the pod dont stays up...
Did you're post about Salvador get removed by a mod? @BaconEggs
@BaconEggs you need to add weigh on the lower part of the pod
Cool
@SteadfastContracting k
Well if you can fix it let me know.
@SteadfastContracting yeah, working on that.
Cool! It doesn't stay perfectly level but still awesome.
