I tried to build a plane that uses rotators to move real control surfaces. Because of this and other factors, the plane does not handle tough maneuvers at low air speeds. Wait to try any fancy things until above 200 plus mph. Its a little cumbersome and ugly, its just a proof of concept for an idea I had.
