How do you build such elegant aircrafts like all the 20k upward guys? I'm starting to build and gain confidence but don't know how to do all that good stuff! Also how do you hide cockpits with fuselage blocks and merge them to make other shapes?

Thank you all for your help!
@Halfblood a trick I use when making cockpits is size a fuselage block to as small as it can go and attach it to the inside of your plane by breaking it in half. Attach another fuselage piece to the small one and put your plane back together (note the smaller fuselage piece must be on the edges of the inside of your plane for this to work). Size the fuselage block attached to the smaller one to how you want your cockpit to look. If you want to reverse engineer a plane to figure out the the hell I am rambling about just go to one of my planes and take it apart until you see what I mean.
Well, it takes time and you only have 216 points, so I assume you're newer here. First, it takes time to learn all the tricks. A great way to do that is to find some iOS creations (since you're iOS) you really like, take them apart, see how they're built. Try and imitate the build ideas yourself. PC is definitely easier than iOS, but you can make some good creations...there are some creations on my highlight page which are iOS, where I started out myself: My XB-70, C-47, Waco glider and F-15 are all iOS builds.
Thanks for your help!
@t8erh8er
theres an old trick back in the day when every one of us didn't use any form of nudging and mods,
.
-you can "sink" your cockpit inside a fuselage block if you put the cockpit between 2 fuselages, resize its height, and it merges (like : set block at 0.75, put cockpit, set block to 1). Same thing goes to putting a fuselage block on the cockpit. side note ; if you do this to a rotator, it will stop working.
You can check out one of my old plane with barely any attention lol, here ya go.

I don't have a lot of experience with phones, but you could ask guys like RAF1 for some insight on advanced mobile building.
I'm on IOS so can I do that on here?
@F104Deathtrap
You can put objects like fuselage blocks or wings inside of each other by shift-nudging them, or by modifying their coordinates using Finetuner, Overloader or by editing the XML file by hand.
