You did all the right things with this airplane. Inverting the pitch controls on the main wing above the COM really helped you. I like this an I'm adding to my favorites.
@Nick161999 - You're welcome. It was fun to troubleshoot. Yes the COM is in the XML. I have notes on this in my modding notes page. That reminds me I need to finish those notes.
@TanksOfOld - See your experiment. I did the following for what I hope are stable low-weight tanks: FuelTank.State fuel="-100" capacity="100000" 418lbs and 26,417 gal with just tank and cockpit.
@Nick161999 - I moved the COM up a bit and it works better. The XML setting I changed was centerOfMass="0,0,.6" I also changed the body wings to be semi-symmetric and that also helped. The wings rip off at high speed still, but it does fly.
@Gg1234 - I'm still getting over my cold. What engine do you want? Small prop, large prop? I think some other user has made an escape pod on this game.
@mufasa6896 - Thanks for the rating mate! You should check out my modding request and questions "airplane". I explain much there. I'm actually quite sick today, but I will finish the descriptions off. Basically, I try to explain how to mod.

@Eric314 - actually, no. Battleship Mikasa is in our shipyards.
@PlanesOfOld - I have something in mind, but you will have to wait a few days. I'll reuse the parts from the battleship I'm building.

Your skills are improving. Keep up the good work.
Rating for thinking outside the box.
@Awesomeplanes - chest infection.
I adore this little half track! I decreased the power and gave it a detach-able howitzer!
@PlanesOfOld - remind me again exactly what you need. My head has been fuzzy lately. Do you want me to embed a small prop in a torpedo?
That's very kind of you. I'm on antibiotics now.
@PlanesOfOld - just a cold with a chest infection.
@TanksOfOld - Your props are ready.
@TanksOfOld
@PlanesOfOld - Thank you, I will. I got back from the doctor's office today. I'm still quite sick actually. :-(
@TanksOfOld - See your experiment. I did the following for what I hope are stable low-weight tanks: FuelTank.State fuel="-100" capacity="100000" 418lbs and 26,417 gal with just tank and cockpit.
This seems to be stable. Try to create a simple plane and see if it works: FuelTank.State fuel="-100" capacity="100000"
Your "airplane" starts to float at: FuelTank.State fuel="-200" capacity="1" It has a weight of 240lbs with cockpit.
@TanksOfOld - that's big! You just need one prop, or clockwise / counter-clockwise?
@TanksOfOld - The three bladed props I made before don't work? https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4okNQo/Free-Props-V-and-Cones
@ZFM99 @hypnotoad have a good day / evening gentlemen. :-)
@hypnotoad - I can't turn away people who ask for help. :-)
@Nick161999 - I'll remove this version once you confirm you've got it. Thanks for asking for help.
@Nick161999 - I moved the COM up a bit and it works better. The XML setting I changed was centerOfMass="0,0,.6" I also changed the body wings to be semi-symmetric and that also helped. The wings rip off at high speed still, but it does fly.
@TheFreakyWatermelon - check under my name for some additional mod notes. It is under the requests and questions plane.
@AircraftArsenal - nosecones! I give them away for free. Check under my name.
Walrus approved!
Rating my original inspiration for all my boats!
Maby one of your engines is more powerful the the other.
Man! I'm stumped. I don't know........
I'll look into it. Maby I can fix it.
@creeperdude1047 - I promise to do that. I'm still just recovering from a cold. I'll get it done for you soon.
Thanks @planelover400 @Zing2000 @karlosdarkness @Shmexysmpilot for the ratings. I'm a bit slow thanking since I'm still recovering from my sickness.
@Gg1234 - I'm still getting over my cold. What engine do you want? Small prop, large prop? I think some other user has made an escape pod on this game.
@TheFreakyWatermelon - thanks! I'm not too sure how to hack parts on iOS, but I'll ask others about that. Cheers mate!
@Gg1234 see my modding notes. Look for a recent "airplane" of mine.
@creeperdude1047 - I've released pusher props. Did you see those?
@hypnotoad - thank you. Sorry for not replying. I got sick.
Its good to fly a simple plane once awhile!
Thanks @IceDragon416 @Mhlind @geekr @Spikerya for the ratings. IceDragon, I tried normal engines, but wanted to go really fast.
@mufasa6896 - Thanks for the rating mate! You should check out my modding request and questions "airplane". I explain much there. I'm actually quite sick today, but I will finish the descriptions off. Basically, I try to explain how to mod.
@hypnotoad - Thanks mate! Can you make a plane that resembles a horseshoe crab? It would need hard and soft features.
@SpiritusRaptor - maybe an awesome video will show the error of their ways.
@WeeBabySeamus - Thank you sir! I'm still thrilled to see your name with the Dev label attached to your name. Brings a smile to my face. Cheers!
@tristanrblock @Mhlind @geekr - Thank you for your kind ratings. :-)
@maverickvii - Yeah, it was on my list of things to do, but I've been pretty busy. Folks have been asking for USAF insignia.
Thank you @planelover400 and @maverickvii
@ChocolatePlanes - what help are you looking for? Fly better, look better, or both?
@Hydron57 - unfortunately no. :-(. That is not something you can do in the XML file.
@ChocolatePlanes - ok thanks. Sounds like you got what you were looking for on my other plane.
I really like this. Why are more people not rating this creation?
