    I figured it out I've done a rebuild of a very very very very old plane on the website the flying wing @HuskyDynamics01

    Generally the simplest option is to just manually connect the separate planes together, usually by adding a connection from wingtip to wingtip. It doesn't fly well or look very realistic, but it's the simplest option.

    You can also use a more complicated system involving rotators. It's a little tricky to explain, but this build uses it with pretty great results.

    The third option is to contact your local Funky Trees wizard representative and ask them how to make a fancy automatic control system that keeps formation with the player-controlled lead plane. To my knowledge this has never been done, but after seeing this, it theoretically should be possible.

    Alternatively you can just not connect them at all, which can be funny to watch but isn't really all that practical for actually maintaining formation.

    Edit: In theory, you could try connecting the planes with winches or something, to allow for some freedom of movement while still keeping them in somewhat close proximity. I have not tried this idea and it probably has several issues.
