MAACS Experiment - Episode 3, Fuselage Shape

This is the Moving Axis AirCraft Simulator experiment, Episode 3. We enhanced the counter-weight system for the flight simulator. Also this is the aircraft inspired plastic frame. .

I like 3 main things about this (and the other) video(s).

1. It shows that there is ALWAYS a version 2.0 (and beyond), so expect it and don't give up.

2. I like how you show the importance of cg/ weight and balance. Hadn't even crossed my mind until now.

3. I like the simple brilliance in the design. common materials, effective with motion and good electronics intergration.

I would like to know the time frame between videos though.

Good vid Matt. (great song at the start too!)

Its starting to get a bit heavy.

The heavier it gets, the slower the pitch will be in the beguinning, while ending more abruptly, and the change from motion to motion will also become slower.

I saw from other MAACS videos that you never went with the box option for the controls, it now beguins to resemble more of that final solution on those videos.

What i don't understand yet is if the structure is pivoting on a hard point or on the chains. Looks like the latter.

Thanks for the update Matt.
