Throttle on to spin paddles
VTOL for up/down
Yaw/Pitch/Roll for Yaw/Pitch/Roll
Thought I would try making a cyclogyro. The swash plate system works properly but the paddles don't produce enough lift on their own so I attatched VTOL jets on the tips, I also used a blasto jet on the inside to lighten the aircraft a little for added responsiveness. I used funky trees on a gyro to keep the nose in the wind above 15 kts. Group 8 activates another gyro for stability, but it flies alright without it if you have a sready thumb. hope you enjoy!

@Thorne Roger
One more thing I should mention lol, I would also recommend keeping it light because I would like to try and get the wings to produce the lift so that’s it’s a little more of a true cyclogyro @SemedianIndustries
@Thorne it's a plan then
If it’s an airliner, we could both post our own with our own fictional airline paint job at the same time @SemedianIndustries
An airliner would be cool, anything would be cool actually lol @SemedianIndustries
@Thorne Roger that
Just leave cylinders where you want me to put the paddles too! @SemedianIndustries
@Thorne airliner?
No problem! Just tag me in a private upload when you’re done! We can sort out the finer details as we go, I’m busy with school as well @SemedianIndustries
@Thorne might take a while, as I'm at the academy for the week
@Thorne
YES
@SemedianIndustries Want to collaborate on the first attack-cyclogyro? You could design a body, and I could do the mechanism and cockpit after you finish
What the magic is soo cool
I ran into it online and couldn’t resist lol @SemedianIndustries
and here I thought making an ornithopter was the craziest thing
@Thorne thank you for taking it nicely
lol, I see that too now that you mention it @Rickyjasper2
It's like the petersripol chicken bucket plane
