Auto Credit Based on RestlessGalaxies's [Ended] Crown of doom challenge
I REPETE DO NOT COUNT THIS AS A SUBMISSION (it will be in the future) BUT I NEED HELP TRYING TO MAKE THIS FLY PROPERLY. IT CURRENTLY FLYS LIKE A JEEP IF IT WAS A PLANE. (also pls let me know if the current design dose not follow the rules)

@wahl this is not up to date I fixed some of these problems in the new one, but thanks anyways!
To make it more stable, you should look at the center of mass and try to get it to the center of the plane by adding dead weight in certain places
@Someonefun thank you! But I’ll see what I can do, but if my cot-pit does not work out, I could use yours, (everyone’s help would be credited in the final design and instead of just being me plane it would be a collab) ish*
Ok I read the rules I will start ASAP
Wait so a f-35 design meaning for the entire thing or just cockpit
Alrighty I’ll see what I can do I should be done in a couple of weeks maybe
@Someonefun
Ok I am looking for a F-35 like design
And can I help with the cockpit
Hey can I do something with it
@Someonefun thank you for your suggestion. Although I did already try to make the wing area bigger, it actually made it fly worse but I can give it a try. Thanks man!
Here’s my solution
.Try adding more wing area to it it might be getting enough lift
.try adding more thrust
.make it lighter
Some of these things might not apply to the problem try it it might work
@MA2211CwCABaerospace You're welcome, any time! It is a very sleek craft!
@Quinndhorn thank you 🙏
I usually look at the Center of lift, gravity, and thrust, and use the XML modder to change mass scales to balance. Great plane design though!
