Help to organize vertical takeoff with CoM and CoL far away from each other

19 dababyduck  2.5 years ago

So, i have a plane with Com and CoL far away from each other, and i want to make this plane be able to vtol take-off, but when i put vtol in com, it anyways pull the plane weird direction(i guess, cause of wings drag), and as i put vtol in col,it pulls the plane cause of com.
Should i put vtol between col and com ? Or try to put com col closer ? Or what should i do ? Im confused

    if all else fails, put a really really strong gyro on it.

    @edensk everythings fine (CoT is almost exactly in CoM) but anyways something makes the plane do flips while taking off

    @dababyduck you can disconnect the non-vtol engines temporarily to see the CoT that matters

    @Chillybaconface well, theres a problem, i have other 4 engines and vtol, and i cannot get rid of this engines, they are decorative ( im making X-wing) and this engines move CoT. Btw i tried to make these engines really unpowerful(powermultiplier 0.001), didnt help suddenly

    put cot and com in the same place but of course put them in the center of the aircraft. keep col away from com because if you put col in front of the aircraft than com, you better fly it backwards
