Ive been working on this concept a little and cannot get it to work. The idea is to use detachers to create a flexible link from the pod to the engines rather than a rigid one. Ive seen the flexible link concept used on here to make a paraglider and also a tow glider. As it stands now the pod racer can take off but is essentially uncontrollable in-air. If anyone can make any modifications to make this more feasible please do and post a comment so everyone can find it, thanks!
