THIS is my last attempt of thrust vectoring. I did a lot of attempt, and refined the tecnique, but is still difficult. The Lucky Star has only two ports, and the ports has limited mobility (only for nose up, btw). It work and bring near 0 the dolphin effect - but in some cases it start to dolphin around anyway - when using autopilot, but I think I can do better. Much better. I still work on TV planes, hoping it.

@TheLieutenant The opposite is also true, if the air intake is attached to a rotor, do not feed any engine. This is sad.

@TheLieutenant im not sie how you're engines are laid out but i had a standard engine on a swivel for vtol, that was just behind the cockpit and would swivel flush behind it. With the intake fitted it still rotated and had enough air

@TheStapler I'll give that a go and keep the thread updated with any further progress in that regard.

@TheLieutenant I found that too, but if you rotate the engine and stick the large intake on it, and then rotate it back into place it can fix the problem (sometimes)

I have been discovering that engines attached to moving mounts can't utilize air intakes located on the main body of the aircraft. This is an unfortunate problem that rather limits design options.

I love experimenting with thrust vectoring! Good luck with future creations!
