Tips for placing CoM ahead of CoL

919 LeoBrasi  8.3 years ago

Do you have any tips for doing these? I tried increase dead weight in the front, change the wings aspect and nothing.
I need these for my next build, but i cant make it fly so help!
If you a sneak peak just say...

    @LeoBrasi what to do is remove the cockpit, save the whole rest of it as a subassembly, start a new build, and add the subassembly to that cockpit. That will get around the successor system, and you can upload it unlisted for the contest

    @LeoBrasi those shouldn't have mattered, but they're gone now just in case. Have you been able to enter?

    @Skua that thing is almost perfect! Thx! I am just running a few tests in the daredevil and try to use a modded engine, and maybe an armed version, but it will be up tomorrow!

    @LeoBrasi here you go. I also messed with the colours but obviously you can change those to whatever you want haha. Try to understand all the changes I made, they're pretty useful in most planes

    @LeoBrasi either attach engines to a rotator, or use a VTOL engine. Probably best not to do it on this one, though, make sure you learn about regular control first haha

    @LeoBrasi that's alright, either can work just fine. Do the best you can, and then upload another unlisted version. I'll make some final tweaks and explain what I changed for you.

    @LeoBrasi yeah. You can move the CoL and CoM closer together (should be easy, just start removing fuel from the front); you can increase the size of the wings; you can increase the size of the pitch surfaces (as long as it doesn't start getting unsteady); you could even add something like thrust vectoring if you want. Just to make sure, have you removed the pitch surfaces from the main wings?

    @Skua but i think it pitches to slow, any tips for that.

    @LeoBrasi I only moved the CoM and CoL, I left the rest for you to try. To get the first one to take off, remove the pitch surfaces from the main wings and invert the ones on the canards, that should do it. To stop them spinning out once they're in the air, they need vertical stabilisers, so add one or two of those and you should be good to go.

    @Skua i have one problem, none of your plsnes seem. The first on doesnt take off and the second spin out of control. Did you only put so i can make the rest or didnt you notice this?

    @LeoBrasi canards, and normal stabilisers
