@Airheaddivision
Thank you for finding my old work! Are you trying to make a swashplate?
It’s been about eight years since I built this, so I’ve forgotten most of the details.
Other creators have made helicopters with a similar structure, and there are many videos on YouTube explaining swashplates, so please check those out for reference.
One tip for building — if you make it too small, the parts will easily stick together and stop moving. Try to keep a bit of extra size to ensure smooth motion.
As for aerodynamics, helicopters are especially complex. When a helicopter moves forward, the lift becomes unequal between the left and right sides, because the blade on the right side is advancing while the one on the left is retreating. Also, the cyclic motion doesn’t always match the tilt of the airflow — you’ll need to understand something called the phase lead angle.
I used ChatGPT to translate this from Japanese into English, so I hope it makes sense.
See you!
@WalrusAircraft Thanks! That sounds like an awesome job.
I'd love to be involved in real aircraft work someday too.
But knowing me, I might just keep making mini-games instead of actual planes. 😄
@dolphlombardi Right? I love it too! I’m aiming to be the Joker of SimplePlanes.
@Crimsonknight @wangerleiyaowan Thanks for playing. May the Force be with you.
@LordGardevoirX Thanks for playing! I recommended Low Graphics because with High Graphics, the explosion is too bright and you know you are in a tunnel. Please use your own preference!
@WalrusAircraft @blt @MobileBuilder21 and all you other guys, Thanks so much for all the comments and upvotes. I honestly don't know how to respond, but I'm really happy it seems to be working fine!
@Thydoirito I'm glad you liked it. The mechanics are simple, but it was actually a lot of work to make. Honestly, it might've been faster to just program a brand-new game from scratch, Haha.
@dolphlombardi Thanks for remembering one of my old builds. I’ve got a long list of things I want to make, so I’m not sure if I’ll ever get around to the Bat-Pod — but maybe I’ll remake the Tumbler someday.
@EternalDarkness Hey, I've been super busy these past few years and just haven’t had any time for SimplePlanes. I happened to get a bit of free time, so I made something. I’ve got some ideas, so I’ll be making more.
@Stinkysock Thank you for downloading my work. This power loader may be too heavy for your mobile device. Alternatively, this was built on an older version of Simpleplanes, so there may be compatibility issues.
@c144538707 I use a lot of detachers on the power loader. However, these detachers are not for detaching parts. The small detacher is soft and acts just like a multi-directional connector. I use these detachers to attach the Ripley to the power loader.
@c144538707 Carefully look at the crotch of the power loader. You will find a VTOL engine and 4 VTOL nozzles. Those are the gray parts. That's the core of the walking mechanism. Sorry for my poor english!
@c144538707 Thanks for trying my power loader. The cause is its overall weight. It is too heavy for the mechanism. I have a slightly improved version of this power loader. Please try this.
@Charris969 That robot isn't a transformer of anime or comics. It's my idea of a transformer. So it doesn't have a name. Thanks for watching my youtube.
@Afafaad I spent 3 weeks making this with the best of my skills. However, this seemed to be too complicated to use and too difficult for SImplePlanes users. In addition, there are too many parts. Anyway, Thanks for trying it out!
@Rijelgaming Thank you for your interest. You can try my unlisted works. Fighter, Walker, Flying maze Then, I always consider about mobile users. Most my works has under 500 parts.

@blt Life’s been crazy busy with work every day. I’ve got way more than 1000 parts worth of tasks!
+1@Ashdenpaw1 Barely, but still kicking. Thanks.

If 1000+ parts are too heavy for your PC, here’s a video.
+2@EternalDarkness Hey, I've been super busy these past few years and just haven’t had any time for SimplePlanes. I happened to get a bit of free time, so I made something. I’ve got some ideas, so I’ll be making more.
+1@UnitedinOne90 Haha, I thought it was creepy too while I was making it.
@jamesPLANESii This is my first new creation in five years. Where is everyone?
+1@MobileBuilder21 Exactly! You have unraveled the entirety of existence! Bravo!
It's so much better than mine!
+1@RAINBOW978 Perhaps the throttle is too high. Try setting the throttle to about 50%. Thanks for your interest in my work.
@Brayden1981 Have you tried this? https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/Best/153
@Brayden1981 Its background is DesigerSpace, a mod about 8 years old. It has now been removed from the website and is not available for download.
+1@Stinkysock Thank you for downloading my work. This power loader may be too heavy for your mobile device. Alternatively, this was built on an older version of Simpleplanes, so there may be compatibility issues.
@Jcbbl10 @TheTomatoLover
Hello. My Simpleplanes has ended. You can see a little bit of my work on my Youtube channel and Twitter. Thanks.

@TheTomatoLover I am still alive. Unfortunately, I don't play SimplePlanes much these days. You can see some of my work on Youtube.

@Andragalang You mean this?
@Gudetama3421 This pinball machine is outdated. Have you tried the fixed version? Enjoy!
@PlanesOfOld I'm very interesting in Babbages programable computer. I'll make it when SimplePlanes ver.10 released :D
@PendekarAviation Thank you so much!!

@Winwise The word "civil" may not be correct. However, Blue Thunder is not a military helicopter. I recommend watching this movie.

@Sankalpnarayan I have tried to make a mobile version 2 years ago, but I couldn't it due to extreme parts count. Please try my another walker.
@asteroidbook345 You can use my number wheels for your work. Thanks.
@Prowilliam476 Thank you twice!

@kikasshes Thanks for your report. I thought nobody had tried it.
Nice! It's very interesting! This counter could be applied to many different things. However, the small gear has one problem. You'd better fix it.
@Fighterpilot91 Sorry, My English may have been poor. You can make a successor of my work. It's no problem.
@Fighterpilot91 Of course it's OK. I look forward to your work.
@SnoWFLakE0s I use hemisphere with zero friction instead of fuselage for my gears. It is important to note that.
@Mercyaircraftcorporation But this calculator can't do subtraction and division... and you need a powerful PC. Be careful.

@Rijelgaming I have some mobile friendly version Thunderbird2 but it's very boring. I don't recommend it.
