SAS Powered Flyer (no engines at all)

[a1lazydog]

I saw someone craft a SAS powered flyer and thought I try it myself. Granted most of the time it just explodes on the runway, but sometimes I could get it up in the air.

Press A and J alternately really fast to get it moving forward, eventually the Advance SAS would take over and accelerate it (or cause it to shake itself apart and explode).

Isn\'t this a wing powered flyer, like an ornithopter? I can\'t see any SAS on it, just an ASAS.

Still really cool, I like craft like this a lot, they make my pc scream in agony though from all the physics calculations.

Hmm, I think you are right. I just called it SAS powered, because it just goes faster with SAS turned on, lol. But yes, the actual propelling forward is from the little flaps rapidly flapping back and forth.

I cannot believe how fast this thing goes on only flappy wings great build

Really cool i say

Didn\'t know you could do this with the kerbal engine they use. Very futuristic indeed.

May i say i had a plane that when you turn the sas on the wings flapped like a bird. But how do you make it create momentum or Speed... Interesting. Gotta go do what a kerbal needs to do. *Research*

Just took this contraption for a spin. It was epic.

Blew up a few times trying to get moving, but once you get a hang of it, it\'s quite simple.

Fair warning though, don\'t try aerobatics... ends very badly...

God it\'s lucky i\'m not epileptic

oh wait

The hardest thing about these crafts is finding that right balance between making it flexible enough so the SAS can cause it to vibrate, yet rigid enough so it doesn\'t shake itself apart! ;P
