I decided it was time to revisit sailplanes, this time focusing on a high-performance design with large plain-flaps, vertical spoilers, and retractable landing gear. The current model is unpowered, but I intend to add a retractable electric propeller for takeoff.
The wingflex is only partially finished, as I've been having vibration issues with added pitch response.
Type "T" for tag requests.
@TheFlightGuySP interesting. I may use that idea on some of my other builds.
@ZeroRaven87 They are
Wing-2(all of my modern builds useWing-2).The wingflex is algorithm-driven. There was some flutter issue but it was more output oscillation-related than speed-related.
I fixed it by tuning the algorithm and adding
damperMultiplierto the rotators.@TheFlightGuySP if you change the wings to partType wing-2 (if you have actually wings inside the fuselage wings), it will strengthen the wings and prevent wing flutter (I’m assuming high speed?)

@OwO Unless you meant having a curved trailing/leading edge.
In that case, I would have to completely redesign the wings, due to the technique I use for fuselage wings (which works very well, but is more time consuming).
@OwO Interesting. It would be a bit awkward with the current wing shape though, and I already have winglets.
Plus, the inverted winglets prevent the ailerons from colliding with the ground.
@TheFlightGuySP rounded wing edges

@OwO Do you have a suggestion for it?
