    @salisbey yeah you may be right about the deplacement. but i guess u dont need as much weight to roll as u need to pitch.. ofc depends on the aircraft. unless you build it as a unstable aircraft kinda like my rc planes.. but we are only really gonna find out through trial and error :) gonna work on a aircraft for this mech :)

    i like your concept :) its very stable and handles well.. just a little slow in my opinion..

    @Kondicykel @Glaceon Pitch is front to back, Roll side to side. This design is just fine. However, I'm wondering if the weight deplacment in roll (side to side) will be enough. Check out the demo plane I built for this concept. Here
