@Far2Crispy Custom landing gear is quite complicated.
If it helps, rotators have a Current Angle output variable in the part output menu, which can be found above the connections tool.
This can be used for custom landing gear functions.
Analyzing and reverse engineering other user's landing gear might be a good way to start.
If you intend to start from scratch, here is a very useful guide to FT: https://snowflake0s.github.io/funkyguide/.
@MrCOPTY The flight computer is much farther forward than the view perspective (and the same is true for the CoM).
If you look closely, you can see the flight computer between the main wings of the aircraft.
@MrSilverWolf The CoM was nowhere near that far back on the aircraft. I also had the same issue with two previous aircraft attempts.
It's quite possible that the cause of the issue is an outdated mod.
The mod doesn't seem to work well with the default helicopter rotors.
I noticed that while the mod was enabled, my autogyro's rotor would randomly explode (this was only happening when the mod was enabled).
A small bug fix update would be helpful, since the mod can still be incredibly useful.
Unfortunately, I was unable to fix the problem. Without the existence of a simple delay function, it will probably require more complicated expressions to create input delays.
You would probably need to use AngleOfSlip data to determine your aircraft's flight direction. Such data would probably work best in a warning light.
Perhaps something like this: IAS>5&(AngleOfSlip>90 | AngleOfSlip<-90) ? 1 : 0
The code shown above worked for me when I used it. The code must be put into the input text field of the beacon light using the XML editor.
@ProfessionalLander That's ok.
Copy this into the post: .
I tested it, and it should work fine.
@ReinMcDeer It's fairly stable.
Of course, it still drifts a bit, so it does require the the user to be active at the controls to make adjustments to the aircraft's course.
The spaces between the text characters is a problem.

I recommend postimages.org for image uploads. Just be sure to use the direct link and not the normal link.
@STENDEC However, the design does not incorporate stealth. Instead it focuses on VTOL capabilities, the ability to perform quick ground target strikes, and air defense if needed.
@MrCOPTY Custom weapons are fine, but I don't really work extensively with exterior details. Maybe someday I will work more with small details, but not now.
@MrCOPTY Also, thanks for the offer! I plan on using standard weapons, but if I decide to use custom weapons, I'll make a second post with the custom weapons and will give you credit.

@MrCOPTY This also happened with two previous attempts at making an aircraft.
+1The problem could be an old mod.
@spindriftpilot No problem!

@asteroidbook345 That's okay.
Users eventually figure out that the main server is functional, but these types of posts help expedite the process.

+2For both of them.
Just add an @ in front of a moderator's name.
Tag a moderator.

Note: I did find a solution to the problem.
However, I would still like to know to source/cause of the problem.
@Noname918181 It worked.
@Noname918181 I will note that the CoM is far in front of the view perspective.
I suspect it might be a glitch of some sort, but I could be wrong.
@Noname918181 Thanks! I'll try it out.
@WinsWings I'm glad you like it!
@MrCOPTY That's okay.

@atgxtg No problem!
@IceCraftGaming Thanks! It's certainly one of my best builds to date.

@ThereIsNoahScape What's ironic is that I have physics on "High".

@GuardianVN Just as a confirmation, the image I'm seeing is a small bomb about to hit a turret.
+1I do not know how to fix the problem any further.
@ProfessionalLander You should be able to.

@ProfessionalLander The image is visible to me. Refresh the page and see what happens.
