##### UPDATE 11/2/2024:
Replaced old sphere joint design with a "ring" style design. Much less friction than the sphere joint design, at least when using ABS.
The new design also requires screw/nut hardware, and larger servos, but the plastic weight reduction makes up for the extra weight. The ring being inside the tube area probably reduces max thrust, but theres no air kickback compared to an outer ring, at least from what I saw in testing. I'll consider testing the outer ring design and also post the files as an option using the same mount section. See parts list for updated parts
### Description
Thrust vector nozzle designed to fit on modified Viper 90 (requires cutting off the tail).
I'm flying this with a 6S 5000mah 100C Spektrum Smart lipo all the way in the front. Even so, the model is still fairly tailheavy. This is fine to improve thrust vector related maneuvers, but it makes the model is extremely pitch sensitive! This is a HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD MOD!
