Are pistons only supposed to interact with attachment points? I have tried to 8mprove my F8 model with them but the best I can hope for at this point is to attach them to a part of the aircraft and place them in a hollow beneath the wing root. When activated, the Pistons push up the wings fine, but they are not actually attached to the wings... if you pull even a small bit back on the stick the wings fall back to the regular position THROUGH the piston. Nothing attached to the extending end ever seems to stay there. I have tried creating "lift plates" of sorts ... hoping that using them might allow a more solid connection to the wings by providing an intermediate object for the piston to act on before contacting the wing.. however, they just fall off when loading in.

- Pistons only move objects that are connected to them (and parts connected to them).
- Unlike fuselage blocks, pistons have specific attach points. If you use finetuner, parts may not attach well.
- Piston attach points are weak, which is, parts can flex a considerable amount on them. Parts connected this way break easily, so i recommend putting a small fuselage block on the piston and connecting the wing to that or use multiple pistons braced together at the ends
- Most important: make sure the moving parts are not connected to the base parts in any way
