How Do You Guys Use Thrusters As VTOL?

321 FlyingPancake  8.5 years ago

How do you guys use thrusters as VTOL? I mean like I know how to make a VTOL thruster but where do I have to position it exactly? I mean like a
I made a "brief" VTOL thruster plane put it kept crashing. I put the COT right under the COM but it still crashes or spins. So could you give me a brief idea of how it works please. ?????????? ????????.

    Btw, put them on rotators. Also do use RCNs (to make them work you need a VTOL engine on it)

    @BigCat Thanks for the help.@karlosdarkness You didn't get my point I think, I know how VTOL works since I had made quite a few VTOL aircrafts my self. What I am asking is how do you use thrusters (Blasto jet engines) as VTOL not the VTOL nozzles

    COT on top of COM is first step add in some rcn nozzles and you should be OK for vertical flight. Here's an example I just built. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/D0H4eO/Quick-vtol

    Ok. So my friend, he thinks I look like Big Cat from fantasy factory, so my nickname is Big Cat, and he got me a shirt from born a lion (Big Cat's brand) that has a neon green and pink lion on it, so I'm like a lion, and I wore a lion costume to be in a lip sync battle, and I wore a lion costume for Halloween because of the shirt being a lion. That's why @XVIindustries

    Question, why is your profile pic of a lion? Cause well, i'd have used a tiger or a snow leopard or even a black panther @BigCat

    Well. Right on the CoM is pretty good. With this the CoT is right on. Idk about VTOL nozzles but that worked for me. Look at this it's a successful VTOL. For help, I recommend looking at tags for VTOL. I'm not personally very experienced with VTOL, but just make sure the plane can do normal takeoff and then position the VTOL nozzles right for VTOL
