@SledDriver
Ok and that's very kind of you 😁
@Mastergamer117 You're very welcome, and I appreciate the invitation, but I don't enter challenges as I'd feel bad about competing with what is mostly a bunch of kids.
@SledDriver
Also I would like to see you in my heavy bomber challange
But you don't have to
@SledDriver
Thank you for the tips I'll put them in my newest plane
Also, if you find that your plane tends to pitch down, you can use two techniques to fix this:
Move your engines lower, so that the center of thrust moves lower in relation to the center of mass.
Add semi-symmetric or flat-bottom wings near the nose of your plane, to provide lift and keep your plane's nose level. Take care to keep the center of lift behind the center of mass while doing this.
Yeah, for a first plane, this is quite good. Here are things you might want to change:
Try to keep the mass near the centerline of the plane, i.e. don't put fuel in wings. This will help with roll speed.
To increase roll speed, keep ailerons on the outer tips of the wings (lever principle).
Adding deadweight is usually unnecessary - try to think of ways to change the balance of your plane without adding weight.
More power is generally better - add more engines, or XML-mod the existing ones.
It isn't terrible at all! Believe me, for a first plane, this is great!
