User manual
move the VTOL slider up to spin the gyros, roll around on the ground using pitch, yaw and roll, or set throttle to 75% for vertical take off.
I have been experimenting with gyroscopes truing to make a more stable helicopter, in the process I created something called control moment gyroscope a device used to stabilize and rotate spacecraft such as the international space station, using the uncanny power of gyroscopic effect. In the process I discovered that amount of fun is proportional to the amount of torque. The whole cube is rotated in all 3 axes without a single rcn nozzle! Powered by .XML moded infinite rotators
possible uses in game:
stabilized turrets,
stabilization and control of sci. fi. aircraft or very large vtol aircraft.

The Ancient Gyroscope System, Incredibly outdated, but works incredibly well.
@Cyan ps: nice hat
@Cyan I am perfectly aware of that. was just stating an opinion and view that matters to absolutely no one
This is 4 years old.... @Graingy
While in some ways this is a little outdated, and It can't auto orrientate, it does provide more control as well as proper yaw braking
Upvote it one more time!
this is really cool!
cough cough v 1.6 * cough * cough
This prove that Simpleplanes' Physic Complecity is just amazing
@@RadarJamJar I think this might be the missing key for no nodding helicopters since they are not stable.
How tha? what the/ Just HOOOW THIS IS AWSOMNE!!!!
Dark* how does autocorrect change dark to DRK?!
What DRK majik is this?!
Well, the craft is ridiculously large for the smaller version to handle. This should work. @RadarJamJar
@ColonelStriker Go ahed , also check out this thing might work better for that link
Aye mate! I'm about to use this on one big aircraft. Would you allow me to use it?
@RadarJamJar what your saying this is a gyroscope that balances things YES now I can finish my hover board
Haha. Good work making it no longer needing rcns. @RadarJamJar
@BaconAircraft Yes, you could say your sphere got the ball roiling :)
COOL !
Cool!
On an unrelated note; did you get the idea from my gyroscopic sphere?
WOW!
You must make scaled-down version so people can make helcopters without swashplates!
@RandyAndSonsAircraft some of my helicopters are steered by a mechanism called a swash plate which changes the angle of the blades as they go around, the length of the blade gives them leverage.
@RadarJamJar
How do you make your helicopter's maneuverable? when i try to make them decent at moving more than up/down, its really unresponsive and slow.
best creation ever seen
