This is NOT a plane, but a tutorial

We turned our plane from non-shareable to a creation worthy of being seen, and ready to take the first upvote. Now we try to make it memorable .. and how are we going? Panels! Panels everywhere!

Taking small fuselages "XML edited" (I put them in the creation) we mark the lines of the panels. must put lines in right angle, playing with the parameters of "rise" and "run" and with the length of the bar ( shorter to give greater inclination).

And then you have to use the nudge to put it just outside of the wing surface. (Shift + QWEASD for the various axes, move the small minimum distance bar, making it also "merge" with other pieces if necessary)

I did it in red to make them obvious, but a dark gray would have been better.

This usually attracts people who see it, and with downloads arrive also upvote. Few, make no mistake, perhaps one every 200 downloads, plus those who usually take friends.

So why not put the panels on all creations? Well friends, the panels cost. Cost so much. No, not money. MPH!! This creation, only to have entered the aesthetic finishes, has gone from 960 to 740 MPH. So be sure to put them only on those creations that you want to impress more on aesthetics than on performance, and above all to have the best performance before proceeding. If the plane flies already this lily, with the panels will be a brick.
