Double props on a single motor?

330 DirtDart  8.8 years ago

I have no idea if it's possible, but I would like to create a prop plane that is double engine, but with the props counter rotating directly in line with one another. I tried stacking 2 of the small prop engines, but it wouldn't let me. Anyone have any luck with something similar?

    @Skua I just put a Bugatti 100p tribute together. Not as fast as I hoped, but it is still in it's first generation. The double prop does work, you do just have to slide them back into the fuse.

    Weight and balance can be tedious if you are trying to get a plane to fly right... Would be nice to be able to test without loading up location and starting the flight.

    @DirtDart real time nudge mirroring would be wonderful, the amount of times I need to manually xml edit part connections when I've nudged something in to a difficult place is painful

    @Skua lol, Thought I was going to have to reach over the backseat for a minute there... Thanks for that, I only recently discovered the "nudge" tool, and have had fun playing with it a little bit. It nice for sinking landing gear and canopies flush! Now if we could only get a wind tunnel development area that could automatically mirror your changes in real time. Would make plane development so much easier.

    Hi DirtDart, sorry for those two. Yes, this can be done. I see you're on windows, so you can just do it the easy way. Put on prop on the front of the fuselage, and nudge it backwards until it's entirely inside the fuselage. You should now be able to put a second one in front of that. Adjust the spacing, set one of them to have reversed rotation, and you're good to go.

    I do Believe You can do that with nudge controls.
