So I have been a bit busy recently, but let's get to the point. So far I have been unsuccessful in creating the Avion's autopilot mechanism, but I believe that I can do something with it.
Behold .
I originally thought that the wing tips would twist similar to wing warping. But I recently came across a video displaying the wings tips would go up and down. This actually allows the craft to roll. Even at low speed. If you want an expanation on how this works just tag me.
NOTE: THAT AVION YOU SEE IS THE TEST BED, ITS NOT THE REAL THING
I've also recently been experimenting with cars as well.
This was my first attempt at combining suspension with a steering system. It worked, but not well enough for me.
This was my second attempt. It was much simplier and works beautifully. I was happy with the results I got from this system.
This is just a small update. The Avion will be complete. I have builds ready to upload as well.
So if you have any questions feel free to ask me them.....
@ThePrototype Hmm I don't get it, but I guess without a flow visualization experiment we'll never know.
No, dihedral created on one side tried to "Level the craft" and andehdral on the other side destabilizes the craft , so the dihedral constantly rolls the craft trying to "Level it" ot wy least that is what I'm thinking is happening @SledDriver
@ThePrototype I'm assuming the roll happens because the wingtip that's drooped causes the wing on that side to have less lift?
Yes, that is what it is for. Take a look at a bird, you may notice they may twist their tail or win the slightly off center when they circle @SledDriver
@ThePrototype Cool. Does your Avion also roll when you droop a wingtip?
@SledDriver here are pictures of it, he suspension system and steering are combined, in thinking of making what I call a two layered suspension, have the system retract from the side like normal, but also have it go up and retract.

Yeah, those two, actually. I’d love to see your take on the bleriot and the Wright flyer! @ThePrototype
How about an old design? Bleriot? Wright flyer? Or both? @Hyattorama
Thanks man. Any build you would like to see from me? Or anything you want to see me build? @Hyattorama
So does the ground vehicle, btw. I have no idea how you do that stuff. So cool.
Wow man I can’t wait to try that Avion out for myself! It looks awesome!!!
I don’t think anyone wants to steal them seeing how complicated this is. Looks nice btw @ThePrototype
Simple..
@ThePrototype Thanks. :D
@Hyattorama @Chancey21 @PlanesOfOld
Ok :) I will @FastDan
Just like, tag me. On everything you post. XD
@Delphinos
Delphinos
Thanks, although I have been reluctant to release pictures because I don't want people stealing my designs at the moment. :/ I'm a bit paranoid XD @SaturnV
Wow!
