    @CaptainJackSparrow or Go to Fine Tuner. Check/Uncheck the box at the bottom of the interface that says scale only selected parts, then input your scale factor in all three boxes.

    @CaptainJackSparrow your going to need the fine tuner mod,
    https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/483588/Fine-Tuner
    once you download that go to mods and press accept. then go to plane maker editor and you look in bottom right hand corner and press that. then press scale. and then i forgot what to do past then but there should be three numbers adjust them all the same and it should get smaller

    @Kfineran oh if you want to shrink your plane, do the same thing mentioned, but put 0.80 In the values instead of 1.080

    use finetuner. un check the (selected parts only) box, set all the numbers to 1.080 and then you have scaled your plane up

    @JumpingJack No problem at all, I am glad to hear you figured it out.

    @F104Deathtrap sorry that I asked when I did because I was impatient about figuring it out. But when I played around with it, I figured out what it does, with relative scale off, every part, after you scale it up or down, moves based from the center and the distance at which is moved is proportionate to the scale value you changed it to. With relative scale ON, all the parts are anchored to their attachment places on the part they're connected to. That way your build looks the same just smaller or bigger

    @JumpingJack oh jeez, I made that comment over a year ago... I think it has something to do with multiplying the dimensions as opposed to assigning them all a number. But I could be very, very wrong. I don't build anymore.

    @F104Deathtrap what does "relative scale" do to the plane & what does it mean?

    BE SURE TO SCALE ALL 3 DIMENSIONS EQUALLY!

    When you rescale the whole plane in finetuner, if you only scale in one or two dimensions, some parts will be distorted in unexpected ways. So always go 2,2,2 or 0.972, 0.972, 0.972 etc.

    Also be careful to use "relative scale" and to uncheck "calculate mass" and "engine power"
