    If you are making wings, use very thin fuselage, and then use STRUCTUAL WINGS, not normal wings! Otherwise, it will bend theoguhg the block, and look absolutely horrible.

    To make good looking wing,just use some very thin fuselage
    Just like Grainy tsaid,you should also observe other real or fictional aircraft to get you a good idea on how to make it

    Alright, I'm considering going inactive for a bit to learn how to make a good plane and to work on my helldiver

    Sorry, I don't use blueprints and my fuselages always suck.
    I don't have much to say.

    I mainly struggle with getting curves right and getting my plane to fit with the blueprint
    ... And of course, wings

    @ToeTips It's a skill I hardly use, though admittedly some issues have no apparent cause.

    Exactly!
    Study quality builds, take them apart and try to replicate.

    Literally.
    Take measurements, see how the parts are changed and warped and put together to make a shape.
    See how the parts are connected, how they're programmed.

    You mean like ripping good planes apart from the inside out?

    Reverse engineer?
    I don't do that as often as I should.
