I would manually disconnect and reconnect the propulsion rotators.
Rotators have a tendency to automatically connect to the incorrect attachment points.
I would also make sure that the rotator input doesn't have any errors.
@JeskoGoesVROOM To address the first question, I'm not familiar with the older method, so I wouldn't fully understand how to make the input work in that scenario.
To address the CoM/CoL issue, I find that rather odd, but I suppose the thing to do would be to find the middle ground on the maneuverability spectrum (find at what balance point the maneuverability is at its greatest).
@Bryan5 Hmm. I'll need to start making requirements for tag requests more clear. Pinning a comment that says "Type T to be tagged" would solve that issue.
I'll make an exception for HalfaBlock, as they seem to want to be tagged.
If you would like to be tagged, let me know.
That is pretty much how I imagined my logo would look if I put it on one of my airplanes.
I would, in fact, put my logo on my airplanes, if text labels would properly wrap around curved surfaces.
If you want to add a detailed description before making the aircraft public, you can post the aircraft as "Unlisted", and edit the aircraft's description on the website. This is how you get detailed descriptions with images, and better formatting. Afterwards, you can make the aircraft "Public" by using the drop-down menu on the right side of the screen on the website, which will publish the aircraft.
To upload a plane to the website, select your aircraft in-game and click on the designer menu (3-Bars Button). At the top of the designer menu, there is a button that says "Share Aircraft", click this button and an interface will appear. The game will most likely require you to sign in with your SimplePlanes website account. Once ready, you can add screenshots (at least 1 is required), a title (auto-generated), a description (not required), and you can choose to make the post Public or Unlisted.
I recommend postimages.org for PC, just be sure to use the direct link and not the normal link.
Discord also works for image uploading.
I'm not sure there is another way to upload screenshots other than the techniques listed above.
Normally what I do is take a computer screenshot, upload it to an image editor (for example: Google Draw), add some text, then upload it as a blueprint and use that image as my aircraft's screenshot.
In my experience, it works pretty well.
@HuskyDynamics01 Oh yes, I'm familiar with the test dummy. It was almost featured in a canceled build I was making.
However, I was unaware that it was actually an in-game part at one time.
@Rework Thanks!
I actually have done most of the flight testing, and its flight characteristics are to my liking.
But you are welcome to post an improved or "reworked" version of the aircraft after it's released.
You might try building some sort of super-radical aircraft, something that stands out and is unique. Start with preexisting aircraft designs, and combine them to form something new.
Or my try making replicas of radical aircraft. You could use this as a reference.
@X99STRIKER Ah, I see what you did there...

@BsetAutomotiveFan2022 I was using it as an example for the user V, who asked how I was able to make torqueless propeller engines.
+1You forgot a couple of Jonda's in the description.

@V I put a powered rotator on top of a free-spinning rotator.
+1Here's an engine that I posted which uses this method: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4h4vL6/TFG-Aerospace-EE-1-Torque-less-Electric-Propeller-Engine
@DISHWASHER2005 Yep. I just hadn't made an account until about 3 months ago.
+1You can actually make electric engines from rotators.
+1It's even possible to eliminate the torque from a rotator engine.
@DeadlyDialga In case you were unaware, the old server

When someone upvotes a teaser post, but doesn't directly request a tag by saying "T", should I still tag them?
@Griffon1 Great!

I'll experiment with this and try to find a solution.

+1@Bobyo That's a statement.
+1@Bryan5 Yes, yes it does.
+1@MrCOPTY This also happened with two previous attempts at making an aircraft.
+1The problem could be an old mod.
