How would it fly if...............
How would a plane fly if the engine pivoted up and down with the elevator and left and right with the rudder and alierons?I don't know but a friend has done it and said it is pretty kool.I will find out tomorrow when I fly it I'll let y'all know.

What the ?!
If this plane survives, we're going to have to hear all the design details!
I considered doing this years ago, and decided not to, for all the obvious reasons... gyroscopic effects causing high loads on "vectoring" servos, radically changing airflow, etc.. Seems like "flaring" for a landing would be interesting...
So, is this guy just screwing around, or is this a cool new design that works? Remember the "Freewing"?

The guy who built it is the guy who manfacturers the Kombat 40 airplanes www.kombat40.com He is constantly designing and testing new designs,mostly for fun,if he doesn't mind,I will take some pics and post them.I am going to fly it today,wish me luck.BTW,he has all the mixing on switches so they can be turned off.
