Is it possible to build a real leaf spring suspension in simpleplanes?

    Nope. The wings flex is like a hard coded value. It's based on the attachment type or something. Same for pistons with themselves and certain other parts. @1gecko

    @Maxmultibamboo hmm cause wings flex we could maybe make some kind of XML stuff to wings to make them flex more so leaf spring can be made 0_0

    I'm trying to do the opposite, make a plane that stays rigid at 200,000 mph, so I noticed that regular wings (like primary ones) have a bit of "bounce" and "wobble" at about 8,000 mph, also try combining with regular suspension used laterally.

    Yes, just use a hammer, and some high carbon steel.
