Hinge rotators are making me lose my mind

2,709 Random04  3.6 years ago

So basically I'm making a foldable wing right

And you know you gonna put a hinge rotator to it folds.. All good?

But what's happening to me is that when it's unfolded (normal fixed wing position) and i pitch up or roll the hinge cannot keep up with the lift the wing is making and its just wobbles very aggressively and possibly break

Note: no it's not the rotator wobbles when moving it problem
which can be fixed by damperMultiplier

So yeah i dunno what to do

    @Random04 just add a couple of small bits to either side of the rotator with 1 mass on them. The bits connected to rotator and the bit you want to rotate obviously.

    @RamboJutter nah they're all 0 drag and 0 mass

    @PioThePioneer
    Ik about this solution but it's gonna mess with CoM, and also it's a flying car and it's high wing
    Which means if i put a mass on the top it's gonna roll over
    I used it anyway lol cuz like i don't have any other thing to do
