@Jerba that's because the rotors intermeshing at an angle causes them to apply torque in the horizontal axis, making the thing pitch back when you let go of the throttle.
@Mustang51 yeah I'm pretty simple with my planes so something like this wouldn't come from me, I love the compliment and I'm sure @RamboJutter would appreciate that being said of his build.
@Mustang51 the only thing that's XML edited is the engine, the cockpit size, and the structural wings to allow for control surfaces, the rest is the game's default, so I assume this particular configuration is inherently stable as long as the turn rate doesn't exceed a certain angle of attack threshold, where it otherwise begins spiraling when pitch is applied (since it's all symmetric airfoils and those don't handle very well at high angles of attack)
@AndrewGarrison I have a suggestion, it would be nice if one could xml edit weapons so they don't have advance targeting show up for them, or that the game had the option to toggle it on or off, I made the tank cannons work for air to air but they still show the trajectory arch when my aircraft points towards the ground, which can be a bit distracting when I'm aiming at an AI opponent.
Y'know, there were plans to make a Chinook into an aerial artillery platform that would fly to a location, land, and use the big howitzers mounted on its sides to rain hell on the enemy.
Eventually ideas spurred up to make it use the cannons while in flight, unfortunately it never got off the drawing board.
This takes it a step further, and you gave this aircraft a lovely design, great work!
When the F-18 marries an F-14, it looks fantastic I friggin love it, shame my device can't handle it, I wish this game also came on the switch so I could try out aircraft with higher parts like this
@ThomasRoderick OOHH!! I thought you were referring to my profile pic, not the aircraft design, yes it's inspired by those aircraft, and other real life ducted fan vtols like the Curtis Wright X-100 and the Bell X-22
@BlueCitrus
I've been experimenting with xml values for ages to see if I can mix two different inputs into a rotator to no avail, maybe having programming experience would help out a lot.
Two rotators, one for pitch and one for roll, you attach either one onto the other and attach the assembly onto your desired location, then the wing, or tail, or engine, or propeller onto the free end, as seen in the video above, the result is having that attached part respond to two inputs.
@CptJacobson the little buddy in my profile picture? That's my Pitbull/Labrador pup, her name is Kikie and I took that pic after I had just found her wandering the streets, she's doing great and is in better care now.
And as for the app I used, it's an Android app called screen recorder, a free straight-to-the-point app with no ads.

@Gameboy21 drop-down menu button on the corner should show a lost of things like forum and airplanes and your profile, in that list of options there's Videos, click on that and there should be a list of options that include create.
You need to have a verified YouTube channel with a video related to simple planes posted so you can copy and paste the link.
@Ambarveis I didn't see that as being rude, don't worry. The new update kinda does away with the need to make a mechanically functional swash plate for recreating genuine rotorcraft anyways. Though I doubt that'll stop people from making their own from scratch.

LMFAO how does it even work?
My S20 can handle it, I was not expecting to see a genuine weapon this friggin powerful
^.=.^
@RamboJutter
OO THAT'LL BE SWEET
Took me a while to realize this doesn't have landing gear despite being able to take off normally, you did a fantastic job.
+1I love this so much
@AZNDUDE67
Thanks! I like to think they're pretty neat too
This thing looks like a space born vessel, good job!
+1@Mustang51 not really, just wanted to improve the flight characteristics a bit.
@ThomasRoderick thank you, I appreciate it!
Gorgeous job, and it's not even 700 parts, keep it up!
@Wi1dSk7 @DJS8Corporations thanks!
+2@AZNDUDE67 thanks man, a slight polish can do wonders.
@schneider821 thanks!

@Mustang51
I was surprised at how stable it was myself
@AZNDUDE67
@XjayIndustrys no problem bro!
+1I love it
@SledDriver thanks! I really appreciate that
Gorgeous work

It veers to the right just like the real things did back in the day, I see that as inadvertent authenticity rather than a flaw.
+2Bro this looks fantastic!

Here it is

+1Woooo!!! My first video in this site!
@AndrewGarrison how does one add the video player into the post via mobile?
+2Nice parasol wing!
What recording software you got?
Also neat truck!
Super good for the part count, great job!

@Ambarveis what do you recommend?
Accurately built and low on parts, great work.
@DJS8Corporations yeah I'm not really fond of gyros for conventional rotorcraft.
@DJS8Corporations
That's exactly right.
It genuinely reminds me of an Su-47/PAK-FA mix, great work!
@RamboJutter yeah the F-4 has an anhedral flat v-tail, though still rather clear from the exhaust.

If anything, a t-tail or a cruciform tail would do the trick. I really like the plane's current looks btw.
@Heihachi I actually have, is pretty sturdy!
