How to make very smooth airliner/jet wings?
How to make the plane respond to inputs better?
How to make the Landing Gear move like airliners' gear?
How to make Thrust Vectoring on jets?
How to make bay doors?

1. Use fuselages to cover the wings, make sure to set their massScale to 0.
2. Adjust the size of the ailerons on your wings or build a more controllable airframe entirely.
3. You can do this by building a custom landing gear with wheels, fuselages, pistons, and rotators. Then change the inputs of the pistons and rotators to LandingGear using the Overload panel.
4. Answered better than I could.
5. Same as 4.

1. Idk what you mean by smooth. And I've never built an airliner.
2. Put the Center of Mass (CoM) slightly infront of the Center of Lift (CoL) and keep adjusting it until it flies smoothly. It works for me.
3. Idk what you mean by that, but what I do know is you can make custom landing gears by putting a fuselage with a car wheel on a hinge rotator that has the XML input to "LandingGear". If you're in PC, you can simply l ctrl+click on the input to enter "Funky" which means you can put something that the base options won't put. If you're on mobile however, you have to enable the Overload mod so you can edit the part properties by files.
4. This one is very simple. Get a hinge rotator, put the input to pitch, put a jet engine, and put the intake onto the jet engine. If you want to have it to also have an input for a roll, you can have another rotator connected to the first rotator and change the input of said rotator to roll. Mirror it to the other side, and put the invert to false. Keep in mind that jet engines put in a rotator will disregard any intakes outside the intakes that is put to the engines. I'll explain this better in a post later.
5. This is kind of tricky, but the most simplest way is to get a panel, attach it to a hinge rotator, have the input to VTOL, and attach the rotator into a fuselage block. Mirror, and boom, done.
  Again, I'll explain these things better in a post later.

@Phoebe umm by the way do I just copy paste the input to the rotator, or I have to edit a few things?

@PioneerThe2nd Can you show me how to do airliners? I have done jets, because of a YouTube video that I saw
