One of the highlights of 1.8 is restone-slimeblock flying machine and I can't help thinking about how I can use them in survival. I arrived at one idea which was focused on transportation so I went to youtube to see some tutorials.
But that's not the point of this post. I was wondering whether you guys built your own flying machine in your own survival world. I am currently looking for inspiration from you guys as I haven't seen anyone make one as of now.

I would also love to see one that moves in both x and z directions, I'd go crazy if I see one that moves in all three dimensions.
I know they're very glitchy and relatively slow. I was thinking of not just building a simple vehicle but more of a merchandise caravan sort of vehicle, where I could travel from one place to another with a bulk storage of items next to me.

Flying machines are cool, but mostly useless for survival.
-Having even just 4 (not 6) directions is extremely hard, and makes the machine very limited.
-Can't move tile entities (unlike many mods) so you have to use minecarts for chests.
-very slow.
-entities, especially players can glitch when moving
-One of the main reasons for flying machines in mods is automatic mining, can't do that in vanilla.
I have not experimented with minecarts, but if someone can find an reliable way to move them or donkeys with chests, flying machines could be used if someone wants to move their base to transport huge amounts of items at once.
They could maybe also be used to start the game over in other place on the same map, build a machine at skylimit and leave running for 10 hours.

No. flying machines are mostly impractical. They are slow, they can glitch, etc.
I would be interested to see one that could be driven in all 4 directions and was fairly small.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

Does this help?
The BEST way to mine diamond, layer 12 and you.
I didn't know about these until a player made one on our server. It was pretty funny looking but worked!
Super Fun Time

Build something like this just because you can.
It might be fun challenge to build a constantly moving home, with farms and everything in the sky...
I already set my eyes on the design of a 4 way flying machine, though I'm not so sure how to make it into a moving caravan.
Lol, cubehamster's creation is just insane! I can't even bring myself to build such thing in creative.

Amazing.
