Hey TT can I republish this if I turn this more into a weather plane with probes and radars?

Then play around with it and find out what's wrong and fix it.
Who knows, maybe you'll learn something and realise you were just doing something wrong.

doesnt even fly

If I remember correctly the controls are mixed using the airspeed. get some forward or backward speed and you should see the control surfaces working, assuming that's the issue you were concerned about.

The controls through the composite aren't working for some reason.

If you mean the control surfaces aren't moving they are controlled by a multiple of the aircraft velocity and seat input, so are static when parked. The rotors will pitch and collective however when parked.

The seat input doesn't seem to be translating to the MC unfortunately. Aka the seat controls do nothing.
