I Need Help

1,099 LiberatorWeaponAgency  8.9 years ago

So I want to continue my jet series and eventually make the successor to my first plane. However, I'm a little stuck. I don't know what to improve and change. I want to make my successor somewhat different than my first plane. If you guys in the community can help me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! :)

    Alright, thoughts:

    • I like the cockpit design, I haven't seen many people build one that way. If you use a similar one again, try to remove to normal cockpit that is upside down underneath the other ones, and get the remaining ones to sit flush with the fuselage.

    • You probably want to swap your pitch and roll control surfaces around. Pitch controls work best at the front and back of the plane, such as on the rear stabilisers, and roll controls work best out to the sides, such as on the ends of the wings.

    • Try to find some way of blending the intakes in to the fuselage a little. A fuselage section attached to the back of them and given enough of a run value to clip in to the main fuselage would work just fine.

    • You totally nailed the CoL and CoM positions, try to keep that similar.

    • Try to move the rear landing gear to be just a little bit behind the CoM. This will make taking off a lot easier.
