Foreword
You may have experienced the problem that your hovering robots drift way to much when doing a turn or falling down a cliff. If you have not found a way to solve your problem yet, this guide will show you one way to do it.
The "Trick"
Now lets come to this easy and quick trick. All you need for this are 2 Rudders from ANY Tier (T5 are used in this example).
In this example I built quickly a small hover that is pretty hard to controll without the "trick".

To make it more stable just simply place the 2 Rudders pointing upwards (like shown on the screenshot).
Note that the rudders can be placed inside or outside your robot.
Have Fun!
Now that your hover is stable, have fun hovering around without any bad turbolences!

@Mordynak I have a very fast and agile T10 cruiser and it turns perfectly (uses 1 T6 and 1 T4 truster to turn to one side)

@Drɐgo you can simply add 2 thrusters sideways so you can turn faster ;)

guys yeah it common but he addressed that he only wanted to make it more well known also 1 rudder int he center back makes you still be stable, you can turn faster & it dosent classify you as a flyer
