@QingyuZhou That's the genius of it. Assuming the yaw is caused by aerodynamic imbalance, the fin works on the same priciple as whatever is causing the problem. In other words, the solution scales with speed at the same rate as the problem, assuming you keep the fin close to the vertical center of the plane and you select the correct angle.
@ThePilotDude I like to think of the Corsair as an advanced fighter. The biggest US aces flew Corsairs. I think if you could survive long enough to learn how to really fly her, she was the most lethal navy fighter of the 1940's for sure.
@HistoricBirds @ThePilotDude While I am just messing with you, I do feel that way. The Corsair was a true monster of the skies. Anazing speed, agility and climb. Even good at ground attack. But she was also a moster to her own crews. Vought always sacrificed safety to make the fastest plane possible, qnd the pilots paid for it in blood. Simply gunning the throttle was enough to send a Corsair into a spin, combined with non-existant forward visibility and terrible low speed handling the Navy had to refuse her.
Then look at the Hellcat. She couldn't crack 400mph and was even sluggish in a turn at first. Slow, stubby, nobody ever says "My favorite is the Hellcat." But she was the backbone of the whole US Navy! More pilots became aces flying a Hellcat than any other plane in the war! Not Messerschmitts, not even P-51's, but the Hellcat. Why? Because she was tough to kill and easy to fly. Leroy Grumman was a Navy pilot, and he cared deeply about them. He invited top aviators to help him design the Hellcat. He had 200 pounds of armor protecting the pilot, and raised the cockpit up rediculously high to see over the nose. In short, Grumman designed the Hellcat to bring her pilots back alive.
Do not get me wrong, I love the Corsair but I'd rather live in a F6F than die in a F4U.
@HistoricBirds You can create uneven camo shapes along fuselage blocks by using fuselage inlets and modifying the inlet angle. You can also create interesting patterns by placing identically shaped (but differently colored) objects in the exact same place and then rotating one of them a tiny bit.
A bunch of kids on dirt bikes could beat the Ratte, just go around it. The thing wouldn't be able to move, much less cross any kind of sloping terrain.
@BlackhattAircraft Thanks!
@SledDriver might have some advice regarding this endeavor. Assuming he deigns to communicate with puny mortals on this matter.
Let the bias... begin!
@EliteArsenals24 Thanks!
@Gravity Yeah, 400 was closer to what I was hoping for. I'd probably have to rebuild most of the plane to get it that low.
@Rub3n213 @RailfanEthan @GreatHenry Thanks guys.
Jeeze, you made that turret fast!
@Ariathe Thank you very much.
Apple = Evil
Or not.

Here you go

@SledDriver The Legend of Sled continues to grow!
@BACconcordepilot Oh! Thanks
@T8flightcrafts No, not IOS Apple is the devil.
I remember you. You were very active back then. Welcome back

You need to attach moving parts last.
@ThePilotDude F6F > F4U
Not bad. How about this?
Wat?
@BlackhattAircraft Nice work. Simple, clear, unmistakable.
I hope you enjoy it
@hobbitfrog Remove all the letters from it. The plane only has 430 parts, without the lettering you can drop it under 350 I bet.
@BlackhattAircraft I sure will

Kinda weird that you're doing the Battle of Britain with English bombers and no German bombers.

@BlackhattAircraft Furthest west I've been is Utah.
Hard to choose. Maybe a Saunders-Roe Princess?
Proto is right, just use a camera
@BlackhattAircraft lol, there's only 2 left in real life (and only one with a real Nakajima engine). I meant on here.
I did the math once, there's a P-51 posted on here almost once a day on average.
@BlackhattAircraft I don't see many Zekes, considering how important they were.
@GhostHTX XD
@mojoyup Sure thing, you got talent. I'm looking forward to stuff you'll build.
@mojoyup There are numerous 3D backgrounds available. They're all mods and usuqlly have the word "Builder" in them.
@ThePilotDude thanks
A rusty 1992 Camaro up on cinder blocks, surrounded by tall grass and weeds.
I don't see why you couldn't do that with the tools we have on hand.
@TitanIncorporated Thanks!
Finetuner
@HistoricBirds Cheers
@BlackhattAircraft It's important to be pragmatic, choose something that works. Don't just be different for it's own sake.
Other nations use manufacturer suffixes (Mig-21, Me-262), or simply assign each plane a single name instead of a number (Rafale, Spitfire).
You beautiful lunatic.

@QingyuZhou Nah. Just a fan of Toyota, and the Hilux in particular for it's amazing appearances on Topgear.
Something with some details.
