@Simplemike I'll try to work on it
@Simplemike I'm not sure
@Armyguy1534 update?
Such a shame I missed out on this, I’d excel in making stuff without control surfaces. Just use wings on rotators, and add some realistic airfoils for dem kewl looks.
Right now it is only caplable of takeoff and pitch
Oh ok
@Theflyingtrex it has to turn and have roll, pitch and yaw
Can it only go straight or does it have to turn
Im late but ill do it anyways
@Simplemike sorry but no I've been having a lit of homework and things going on so ii couldn't
Any update?
Is it okay to use a curved wing design to eliminate the need for ailerons?
"MUST BE A PLANE" You mean "It's must fly by wings only"?
@KingOfZeta yes
Can I use rotators to control the plane?
I have an idea. It involves winches. The rest is top secret.
I did mine and used a gyroscope
@FlyingNarwhal yes I noticed that but there also is a big red cross through it
Also anyone else notice that there is a control surface on the no control surface challenge?
Idk about everyone else but this is a lot easier than people think... all yo have to do is use Vtol engines and use RCN nozzels to do everything.
I’m taking part and how many crafts can we make
@Armyguy1534 aye, alright im gonna make one. :)
@Armyguy1534 you better tell everyone else that, I won't be participating this time.
Post it in the rules so everyone knows .
@evilbadger34 you can use it for stability but not pitch yaw or roll
@Botfinder fair enough, but @Armyguy1534 might want to add a rule that you cant use a gyroscope for pitch, roll or yaw right? It kinda defeats the whole challenge.
