New update makes it easier to copy/paste parts and know what buttons trigger them. Also, added some parts, most notably balloons which allowed me to make a flying machine, steer it where I wanted and then land without crashing. Big update for those who want to make flying machines. ---

Very nice! I’ll have to mess around with that. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp88CdxCNUI&feature=youtu.be)’s a video showing how to build a stable helicopter rotor. Very useful is the “center of mass” tool so you can keep your helicopter balanced. And for land-based builds, [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3H_3jsaglk)’s a good tutorial on three different methods for steering. ---
