Thanks all.
Yes Slayer thats exactly what I am trying to do, allthough from the ground level. I have been trying the trial and error thing but no matter how I do it will only swing along any of the 3 axises, how you managed that is beyond me.

I simply gave in and rotated the whole thing 45 degrees, had no major impact on gameplay but it hurt the overall feel of the thing, but I assume the only one hurt will be me, as I am the only one who knows how it was intended to be.
Any chance we have a master of pitch/yaw/roll somewere around that can explain?

Yours
