Mist common error when building aircraft's.

808 Searay  9.1 years ago

So I realized that when people fly there airplanes it seems that for example if you let go of the controls the nose of the airplane will start to drop slowly or the tail could drop slowly as well. It because there is a uneven balance with the CoM CoL CoT. Now your question could be "how
Do I fix this error?" Its not that hard to fix this but all that you need to do is either add weight to the nose or tail or add fuel to the nose or tail ( if you have the new nose blocks then you can add fuel with it.) And play around with that until you feel that your airplane flies straight. Thats all for today. If you have any questions let me know in the comment section below or if you need help with balacing and aircraft let me know and I'll work on that for you as well. Have a great flight pilots!

    i think this is helpful.if a plane on a short runway tries to pull up,the nose up thing can add to the amount of pitch and help the plane take of and it kind of provides a challenge and the human brain naturally wants a challenge.why would we even do non challenging things?it will entertain us if we have a challenge.

    Auto pilot would be a cool feature to add though lol but yeah a slight up or downward pitch is easily countered by pitching in the opposite direction@Brields95

    @Searay real airplanes are hardly ever balanced like that to begin with.

    Or you can man up and actually fly the plane. I'm not handing out autopilot here.

    It doesnt matter if the nose or tail dips down, it just makes flying more fun

    Wouldn't the nose be heavier if it does that.

    Honestly if it's to solve pitching up or down, you're best off using the different wing types. Changing the CoM and CoL affects the stability of the plane, while wing types don't.

    Do you mean like the size or the wing?

    Or change the wing types

    You could as well trim your aircraft but it should still work.

    Well, I do feel that building some sort of "trim" control is easier than fixing the COM, COL and COT.
