Firefly (Medium GyroBomber)

Since I've already made a gyroscopic craft, (no gyroscope blocks) I thought making a bomber would be easy. I know how it works, so that I can focus more on the details. OH HOW I WAS WRONG, she's named Firefly after the sparks that constantly propagate around the wheels.

the Pyroscaphe was light enough where the rotors had early enough torque to deal with the inconsistency, this one didn't have the luxury, having sever vibration problems, kinetic energy defendant problems, and CENTER OF THRUST PROBLEMS that all took me WEEKS TO FIX, it works with the same basic concept as the Pyroscaphe, pitch angles were reduced as thr wheel stores so much more power, organdy it was a lot more responsive but the rotors couldn't keep it and caused a energy deficit, the center of thrust was moved toward to deal with a energy defendant

(When working on the next Gyro-craft, I learned it wasn't an energy deficiency; it was CMG Saturation. The fix with the mass accidentally fixed the CMG Saturation.)

It uses the gyro system shown above with a two-axis carriage, so the two reaction wheels can do both Yaw & Roll
I had the problem that the gyros couldn't affect the pitch In that configuration, I have stacked rotors that speed up / slow down the reaction wheels to create pitch forces
