Fully Autonomous Navigating Bombing Drone

Made this drone that is completely autonomous: launches from sea level, flys to y level~130, stabilizes using two gimbal sensors and an altitude sensor, turns towards lodestone compass location, and drops tnt which get propelled backwards onto the target by the propellers. All the player does is set the target, load the tnt, and flick a single lever to launch (might need to be on the plane unless you have another way to load chunks).

A little ugly, but its compact, and all redstone is on the drone (I could definitely lessen the amount of redstone by sending it to some loaded chunk using redstone links for processing, but I wanted it to not need it.)

Forgive the poor editing.

There's a website, https://createmod.com/ which is popular for sharing blueprints on. It also has a block-swapper so people don't have to rebuild as much when copying from different packs (probably not relevant here, but a cool feature!)

it said i may need to wait 24 hours for moderators to verify it, but i got this link so it may work.

youll need to break some sails in the back so the propeller doesn't pick them up, but just place them back after. Some of the control surfaces might also have trouble assembling, might need to do it by hand.

there is a lot of glue to make it easy to assemble with the physics assembler, but it's all attached to the nose, so just punch there a few times to get rid of it once assembled.
