The Bristol 188 was a British supersonic research aircraft built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in the 1950s. Only 3 build, one in the RAF museum at Cosford (well worth a visit). I tried the all moving tailplane but simple planes was fighting me, too much bounce in the hinge rotator. flies a treat though. (i wonder where star wars etc get their inspiration). airbrakes and flaps fold away when you open the throttle.

Reduce the rotator movement range and/or rotator speed (you can make fine adjustments through XML). Another trick is to reduce the size of the vertical stab, but then bury it in a fuselage piece covering the stab, built to the correct size, of the stabilizer. You are correct, though, in seeing the different aerodynamic forces between the stock control surfaces and doing the same thing using rotators and wing pieces. Nice build, very unique.
Nice plane . Good job .
Spotlight why? Because I won't be able to for much longer at this rate! Keep these rolling out they're awesome!
