Get a gyro going for the steering. You could also fit one via a servo to a big rear wing to help keep the thing pointing to the horizon  I have some spare heading hold gyros that I used for an EDF VTOL jet. Going for a reasonable price  Lewis |

Oooh, that sounds cool.
What sort of beer tokens are we talking?

I have two. They do both head hold and rate gyro functions. They cost £60 each new, and have barely been used, although I am not sure I still have the instructions, but you can download that off the 'net.
Something like £30 each, but am open to offers or ideas.

Hmm,
I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible, mainly due to being skint.
I'll bare it in mind though, as it is an awesome idea

Yeah no worries. I know what you mean about keeping budgets low. I might be convinced to 'lend' you one or both, on the proviso that a) you make it AWSOME and b) if you break them you pay for them Lewis ETA I would want them back afterwards, subject to condition B above |

WMA MK2 has arrived. The body shell is a little modern for my liking, but that can soon be changed.     Look at all that lovely room in there, wonder how many rockt motors I can fit in?  Good chassis for what I want. Bit heavy, but it'll be much lighter once the diffs and motor are removed   Should be fun ;D |
