Edit: See updated version on my profile thanks :)
This is a concept for making a reversible piston engine, dont have any applications and would love to hear some ideas, alternatively let me know what things you think could be improved :)
Controls: vtol up for engine on
Trim down for clockwise, trim up for counter-clockwise
Activation 1 for magnet on/off
Instructions: First vtol up and engine will spin in whatever direction it wants, then rotate magnet to desired direction, turn on activation group 1, once engine begins to spin in desired direction turn off group 1.

@Hiimakeplanes this was my next plan, its gonna be awhile but i think it's possible, only thing is there's not much point to the direction changer for a plane. A car is the only thing i can think of that it makes sense, but cars are a pain in the ass when it comes to using a piston engine, what we really need is a wheel that has the option of being free spinning or a solid connection. Gears and axles would be and absolute blessing as well :P
@spindriftpilot yeah I mean it works, its just finicky and you have to manually turn on and off the magnet. (Probably should have said that in the description, ill be fixing that)
Just about
So will Someone make a plane with custom everything including the engines?
