@BATTLEGAMER101 it is possible to have a tow plane attached. It is also very tricky. Usually setups with tow planes/winches are not working really well. Essentially you can do the same thing.
. Just get a powered plane that goes relatively slow, like the default bush plane or the P-51. Climb up to somewhere fun, then slow down as slow as you can go and save that location and name it "glider spawn". At this point, spawn the glider there.
@KLM_747 ah. I went to a young eagles flight(free) and got to fly in a 172 bush. I pretty much flew the whole time until we landed, at which point he slammed the elevator straight to our chests. No float, it was beautiful. But I know quite a bit about GA because a key part of my week is going to the airport and talking to pilots and watching/reading plane videos/articles.
.
And I mean I'm sure you know this, I'm not sure how far into training you are, but just fly slower aproaches, or just as you would normally touch down, just pull more elevator to keep you up. The latter is bad to get in a habit of, but whatever it's better than landing fast.
@KLM_747 oh yes! Now I remember that a lot of boeings have all-moving stabs for more trim efficiency--including the 737 I believe although I may be wrong. Although, the ailerons do have trim tabs on the 737-900, I saw them irl. I was recently trying to find this elevator deflection for you but it is really tricky to find. I made a 737 one time to scale but it was too many parts and I couldn't finish, and I couldnt find throws for any surfaces on that either.
.
Look, all I know is that the default SP deflection of 35* is waaaaay too high. As you have your elevators at 30,* your very high up there. As I said in your wing post with the ailerons, they maybe moved 10-15* at a maximum. And although the elevators may be capable of reaching 25 or 30,* the flight computers would limit their throws except possibly on flair; at least in general aviation, full elevator deflection is almost always used on landing.
.
But I am one of the people addicted to plane spotting videos, and in heavy crosswinds that rudder will be all over. I think the 20* you have rn is looking pretty accurate, maybe copy over the 20 to the elevators. I typically use 15-20* btw, depending on the type of aircraft(bush/stol/aerobatics planes more, ultralights and GA aircraft less)
This is amazing. Not sure if you are taking suggestions from measly silvers like me but heres a few things.
.
Trim tabs??!?
Rudder deflection good
Elevator deflection probably too high
.
That's all from me!
I am building an eerily similar F-103 Moonfighter. Wait can you actually post this on your forum next to the picture of yours, they look really similar.
.
I am using a similar set of blueprints and I will copy your techniques, but I am keeping it fictional for freedom(ex. where I didn't do the front frame). I know I could get away with another 50% upvote gain making it a replica but whatever. Also, I am building mine smaller than scale, maybe 1:1.6 or so.
.
What is your current part count? I am around 60 RN, I am assuming you are at what, 85?
@BagelPlane thanks! I really focused on that with this build. I looked at a few pics on google search of "small engine" and I think I did ok. I am not sure really what else to add, just a center section, pistons, and exhaust lol
@NormalPioneer place fuselages I that are skinny to be arranged in a cube. Then take off the top, attach normal size fuselages to the front and back, building your plane from them, and then add stuff like a chair inside your cube. This is the most primitive interior.
.
I find my planes to be simplistic and easy to deconstruct, if you want to learn more advanced techniques look in my profile. Shouldn't be too hard to learn :)
@Tommytheplanes267 hey FYI if you want people to respond to you, and to notice you've said something to them, you need to click "reply" next to their name and it will say "@" with their names.
.
The turboprops you need will be kind of advanced. You could theoretically just slap the stock engines on there, but I recommend forming a fuselage cover for behind the engines. On the fuselage next to the engine, set it to width:1 and height:2 and set the corners to smooth
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook what plane is that btw
@XP it's really simple lol. Just
PitchAngle / 90in one andRollAngle / 90in the other rotator11nd aaaaaaa

@DerpTheSoyacfartala does that count? Let's go with yes
Yay I made guages!
Flys ok but the interior is nice. The gun shake is also cool. I want to make a cockpit like this but I have no idea how to do all the guages good

Oh god it's so wrong

@WiiMini unpixulatus disaramus! Aaaaaaaaaaaa
@WiiMini lol how could you unpixelate something?
@WiiMini and, has the knight said anything
@WiiMini no it's a stock image of a guy holding a watergun
@KnightOfRen we will assume that lol
Extreme epic! T me some Tea mister wii
Huff of defeat

@RachataBLUesTH ohhhhkaaaaaay?
@rexrexThezion oh I have experimented with that without posting. Usually they fly like crap
@Ergi I see where you're coming from. I am trying to learn Spanish but nobody i know wants to talk Spanish with me

@jamesPLANESii fancy meeting you here! I figured you might like/find this lol
So are a few others. The AeroWatcher and BushWatcher are even sharper in vision!
Wonderfull
Wonderfull
@jamesPLANESii @WiiMini roughly 420 weeks per day
@WiiMini how did I ever know that?!?!?
@AzureCorp I know, it was a helpless attempt at a joke
@BagelPlane thanks!
Have fun getting blown up from the cockpit!
Can you tag me on everything? I know it will be a pain but this might help me big time :)
Do you live near LAX?
@ACEPILOT109 ayyyyy thx m8
@ACEPILOT109 ohhhhhh just a typo
@WiiMini yep!
@WiiMini @XP and I used to live in Virginia and have been to Dulles before too, in fact used to live under the approach line of it!
