Thrust Vectoring - No control surfaces! (Experimental)

Built out of the curiosity of my mind.
This is a simple representation of how thrust vectoring can control the pitch and roll of an aircraft.
I have limited the movement of the motors to allow easier control.
You could add thrust vectoring for yaw control?
Hope you enjoy :)

@IStoleYourMeme Yes I've found that as well. Only managed one 'successful' landing (lost a wing!)
Nice! I've messed around with the concept myself a while back, the only problem across any plane of the configuration appears to be the lack of control at 0% throttle.
