Did you mod the rotator? Sometimes they get buggy is you mess around with their mass. This is a well documented issue, try googling around and you might turn something up.
@CRJ900Pilot This sounds like you may be talking about something bigger than internet airplanes. No one is saying they aren't your friend anymore and no one is saying they're going anywhere.
If there's something you want to learn how to do or make, find something lime it and take it apart. See how it works. Ask around about how other people do it. We're all friendly and there's a few of us that even know a few things. But you'll never know if you never try.
@QingyuZhou I really admire your skill and generousity on here. It's cool to help people, but you can't be everything for everyone. There has to be a balance. Anyway, just wanted to say I understand how you feel and that I hope you stick around.
@CRJ900Pilot Gotta believe in yourself and get out of your comfort zone. Gotta try and fail in order to get better. Everyone on here used to be awful, no exceptions, and the only way they got good was from pushing into stuff they hadn't tried before.
One meter is 2 blocks in Simple planes. I measure the number of pixels in the wingspan and resize the image so that 1 block = 20 pixels. In MS paint, the "selection" tool lists the size of the selection box in pixels, I just use that as a tape measure.
I also use video clips to see how parts of the plane move (landing gear folding, etc.) and make a folder full of images of the plane and various details.
When building I keep MSpaint open for measuring and picture-viewer open to look at fine details etc. and then I just alt-tab between them.
@Minecraftpoweer Exactly. I tested it for a bit and it does work, but as soon as you try to edit it in the builder (AG, pitch, etc) it "snaps back" to being tiny. I'll probably add it as the final part so it doesnt get messed up while I'm working on the rest of the plane.
@Minecraftpoweer The goal is to have the blades look more or less normal, so I wont flatten them much. As for fitting the cone into a fuselage piece, I plan to once I have it small enough.
@Minecraftpoweer The middle of the propeller has a big (1×1) nose cone. I need that cone to disappear, or at least shrink down to a quarter of its size so I can hide it. I need the propeller blades to be some reasonably normal size.
I can name a couple airplanes that have never been done. The Northrop F-15 Reporter or the Laird Super-Solution for example. But no one has made them yet, and I have no expectation of anyone making a competant build of them any time soon.
@FilenotFound The Flogger was an important step for the Soviets in terms of radar and tactics. I'm more of a Foxbat fan personally, even though the Flogger was far more useful.
A while back, I was studying the landing gear struts from a photo I found of one of these things rusting in a field somewhere. Talk about a nightmare! I still can't figure out how they manage to fold all that mess up inside the plane.
Anyway, I really like how you have the missiles on a swivel, just like the real thing. Nice.
In real life, that skinny landing gear made the 109 a real danger to land. Here on Simpleplanes, the sheer fact that you paid any attention to the landing gear at all put this plane in the safest 5% ever built!

Good luck with the recovery!
These things were pretty amazing when they first came out and they did surprisingly well against more advanced enemies.
Awesome, very inventive.
Pretty cool pylon racer
@CRJ900Pilot Just give the guy time.
I love how all your builds have hilarious back stories.
I see what you did there.

And they said it couldn't be done!
+1@Elipsis Check for the center of gravity in the builder, put the main gear just a little bit behind that
Main landing gear is too far back, but I like your work
Main landing gear is too far back, otherwise good
Nice work

@Sgtk I really like when people build lesser known, but historically significant planes like this, and you did a good job here. Keep it up!
+1Beautifully simple
...and it's featured again. lololol
Red and white is the prettiest and most challenging.

Yeah man, you clearly spent a lot of time getting the shape right.
+1@FilenotFound Let me know.
@EternalDarkness I'll try to throw something together before the deadline, but I'm notoriously slow. Either way, it'll get posted.

@FilenotFound Right on!
Glad you put this thing together, lots of high quality, fun to fly builds getting posted.
@FilenotFound Dang, you gonna tell the man what to do AND not give him an upvote. Cold blooded.
You win one internet from me, good sir.
Hey, nice detail work.
Double-posting usually hurts your upvotes, not that upvotes matter. Nice plane, by the way.
This thing is weird. I like that.
+1You got the shape just right. Good work!
Pretty cool idea. Ever heard of the DeHavilland Beaver?
Ah, my ancient nemesis returns.
Your Kung Fu is very strong.
