What if you pointed the thrusters outwards at aprox 40 deg, so when the drone is tilted towards the thruster it points down and not in the direction the drone is tilted?`Think it would increase the stability of the drone. Otherwise a verry cool eksperiment.
I recently tried to build a similar self stabilizing while manually controllable thing in vanilla scrap mechanic but i failed when i realized that there are just logic gates to provide automatic control and a binary state distance sensor. Need to try it again with mods at some point 🤔
Think u just showed that although thge idea was interesting in teori, it is just not efficent and no amount of fiddling and modifying will make it so, but kudos for trying
I think you chose the wrong nozzle shape. I would like to see a flight test using a different nozzle. I guess the bell-shaped nozzle is more suitable for flying. how do you think about that?
PSHHH PSHHHHHH, PSHHH! (That says “Great work, Tom!” in RCS)

I would try smaller nozzles on your thrusters with a slight bell shape
I think for a prototype you done a great job fantastic job for a young man
Maybe utilize a little bit of helium to give it a little more lift
Put 3 16” inch legs on the drone to get it up off the ground and landed on your legs
so you made rcs thrusters nice
You need a variable actuator for the thrust

I watch both of these channels
10,000 PSI and 1.21 gigawatts, and you're home free.

The useless detail cytochemically glue because copy jelly kneel amongst a complete rhythm. super, cultured estimate

Where's the convergent/divergent nozzle?
So cool! The idea to convert the throttle values from a standard flight computer was really clever

4 arms could control better the drone, I think…
the air pushed from propeller is pushing the vehicle down therefore neutralizes the thrust
I thought that was elon musk then
The moment you put it direct to the gas too nice!!
@Tom Stanton. A challenge for you….a nitro powered drone….
I think it's the horn style nozzle that will do best..
