Drag rudder option for other control surfaces

[Wjolcz]

We have A.I.R.B.R.A.K.E.S. and they can work as drag rudders. Would be even better if we could set it for other control surfaces too.

The green stuff.

But not for yaw when in horizontal position. Can't make a flying wing without those.

what about using action groups for toggling regular control surfaces?

Thought about that, but came to conclusion it would require a lot of work just to yaw. You have to deflect them more and deflect them less. And have to do that for both sides. That's 4 different action groups used just to yaw the thing left and right. And it's not a very efficient way to do that either. SAS also doesn't help you to balance things out if you do it that way.

I built an only drag-controlled thing once, with Mk.2 elevons. But an option for toggling it would be nice.

In KSP you can, because of OP reaction wheels - last I've checked they worked on my flying wings just fine for yaw control (even just with only cockpit built in wheel, no extras).

Hell no! I ain't using none of those devil-driven contraptions you call reaction wheels for flying my aircraft!

Seriously though, I want to make things fly and be aerodynamically stable, not brute force it with torque. Reaction wheels are for space.
