If you haven't seen part one, click on my username and browse through it to find it and look at it before you continue reading.

Done?
Great.
I showed you how to make parts overlap, but it's also important to make them stick. So here I made a small change, I took out part of the fuselage and placed it on the main frame (green) to which the hull will stick to once it has been rotated into place. Now we have a stable construct!

Again, this is just one example of how to do it, there are many more, but I hope you get the idea.

If you found this to be helpful, please give it a high rating so that others who mgbt benefit will find it more easily.

    @jared3339 yes, you can add several control surfaces to a single wing.

    @jared3339 where exactly is your problem? I thought that over both those tutorials, I made clear how it works...which part isn't clear enough? I might upload a third one if that could help.
