Mechanical Two-Axis Control System

This is just mechanical build with a simple Two-Axis control system that I built. You only have rudder and pitch. All the controls are basic with nothing special. Although I will say that it has some strange stalling characteristics at high angles of attack, so be warned. Also, when using the rudder to turn, use a light amount of rudder. Over-correcting can also cause flatspins. Have fun flying - ThePrototype

    @ThePrototype yes! I'm a big fan of novel creations in this game. Especially when it's something other than a super fast fighter haha

    It was meant to be easy to fly and just a quick build, it would be an easy conversion to add ailerons. But thanks for the feedback. @Kalanimcd

    @ThePrototype try adding a roll axis, when the rudders are used the plane tends to tilt, when trying to correct it usually goes into a flatspin and then a dive.
