@Visify Yeah! that's the piston turbine, isn't it? it resembles more a jet engine though... I'd like do make one too! You'd want to use the piston engine that produces the most torque as 'combustion chamber' and then have a prop (or more depending on the power produced) in front to represent the compressor and one at the back for the turbine.
@BaconRoll Well there is that but the Horten brothers also used what they called a "bell shaped" lift distribution (more lift near the centre of the plane and negative lift at the wingtips. with a swept wing it creates much lift at the centre of the plane and the down force at the back normally created by the tail plane on a standard aircraft) to stabilise their gliders and the Ho 229. What I have been failing to do is replicate this in simpleplanes.
Nice! I always wanted to do that too, now I have to! Continue! This is interesting! also, the springs at the back of the engine compartement, are they for the gear or the engine torque?
@RAF1 kinda now-ish coz i been workin on a few complicated things lately and occupied with school, but i am back at home with a good pc now, should be good. Also addicted to War Thunder...
@iwannabeelected I am currently making a tank gearbox but the constant mesh seems relatively simple to make in comparison. I am sure you can make it. I might try it myself when I get too frustrated with the tank gearbox. Also I am using your gear set, they are very good and would be very useful in a constant mesh design.
@HakkeAirTech thanks!

@Visify my proper V4 works but fails with the slightest resistance because the crank shaft has no fixed axis between each cylinder... :(
@Visify yeah I only just saw it! very interesting and smart idea! we have more to experiment with those!

@Aviation thanks!
@grizzlitn @sexylips35 @saturn28 thanks!
@Visify thanks! it's actually really simple to make it work! Harder to make it work well...
@ACMECo1940 thanks
@Ihatelava123isacommunist hmm... hard to do on a V shaped engine but Visify has done a few non V. I'll give it a shot!
@Visify thanks! more coming tomorrow!
@Visify interesting... don't worry about the V shape, I'm working on it.
@Ihatelava123isacommunist thank you very much! ii am currently finalising the V4 engine proper.
@helilover03 nice!
@helilover03 good and you?
@Visify no need to build a V 12 for me, i'll figure it out, but you still can if you want!
@helilover03 thanks
@RAF1 If you want you can just do the base, we haven't started yet it seems...
@RAF1 thanks!
@Mustang30097 this is made by Visify, check him out coz he made more and better ones!
@Mustang30097 thanks!
@MicenAuto thanks!

@BaconRoll yeah it's gud! now, how to have full horisontal stability without using vertical surfaces or gyros?
@WNP78 I am not quite sure what the angle of attack parameter does with the wings... it doesn't seem to have any effect... any suggestions?
@BaconRoll yeah, not quite 100% stable... but still doesn't go uncontrollable!
@RAF1 I'm back
@Visify the series is started
@BaconRoll wow
@BaconRoll how did you do it?
@Visify Also, I have a request: would it be possible for you to build a V 12 engine, so that replicas are more accurate? will give credit of course!
@FennVectorCWA no pwoblem!
Nice! I always wanted to do that too, now I have to! Continue! This is interesting! also, the springs at the back of the engine compartement, are they for the gear or the engine torque?
@JMicah4 no problem!
@EpicPigster1 no problem!
@RailfanEthan no prob!
@RAF1 kinda now-ish coz i been workin on a few complicated things lately and occupied with school, but i am back at home with a good pc now, should be good. Also addicted to War Thunder...
@RAF1 thanks!
@RAF1 I shall have to be prudent when I get my SP fixed!
XD, "DIRE"
@iwannabeelected i'll try it with my tank transmission. Hope you can get back to it soon!

@Agung44 no problem
@Sgtk no problemo
@MasterChief thanks!
@MasterChief thanks
@Mrloominati made a frame one with piston engines! Coming out in a couple of days!
@momo02 thx :)
@momo02 thanks!
@Toast thanks!
