Aircraft thread

I got my first flying airplane...finally!

Gotta mess around with the controls so they are more stable.

I was messing around with Fin STool and It may be just me, but increasing the weight on the Flaps makes it so they are less prominent to be controlled by the wind, when I raised the weight it seems that it wouldn't be "stick" in straight position when I press the button to tilt it. It may be just me, or is that true?

I found that too, but the price was I needed more torque in the wheels and/or to make the wheels heavier. I only recently discovered the "hydraulic weight trick" (Joebloom's post @ PhoeniX-Storms 2 - Page 19 - Facepunch Studios), so I might try that with next one.

It also means they can move the airplane more, heavier elevators pitch the aircraft more steeply.

WIP: "The F*tard Flyer". Ak, damned thing is gonna end up looking like a cross between a EuroStar train and a Boeing DreamLifter.

PS anyone else use this type of skeletal structure approach? Seems to work quite well so far.

Edit: OK, I semi-abandoned EurostarTrainPlane, made way too many mistakes at the start that made it most likely unsustainable. Here's the start of version 2:

Too much? And I'm going for propellors-only to get it airborne....wish me luck :v:

I dont really mind that its 2 years old I just would have liked to see his planes, but i doubt he still has the dupes...

Using that logic, why would you expect him to immediately post links to 2.5 year old dupes?
Knowing this beforehand, why even post....?

Um you know I still have all the dupes, and all the pictures. I will reupload them
