@Cipher nice. i think that when my builds stall, it's up to the pilot to put it back under control and recover from it.
steps:
cut power, rudder to dive, POWERRRRRR, pull up
@FatNinja there is a slight airbrake effect, yes, b/ut idk if there is a difference between low and high mount for that matter. I tend to use compund delta or cranked arrow to delay and make stalls less deadly, with usually a mid mount and a slight anhedral or a low mount. My roll control surfaces tend to be mounted on perfectly level wings or rolling is weird.
@Cipher ahhhhh i see. any difference in energy retention?
i know that the CoM and CoL has a direct effect but i feel that while pulling, does the change in direction turns the wing into an airbrake? (Not the Cobra, just a regular turn)
My builds will normally have a wing root and then either the following wing designs, depending on the max speed of the plane.
Straight wing/ tapered wings: Used for planes below 1000mph, for maneuverability, stability. normally placed a little front of the CoM.
Delta Wings: Used for planes with high speed, above 2000mph.
the wing tip is pushed back due to the design, enabling for my build style of front wings, improving maneuverability.
Swept back wings: Rarely used them and i don't like them. the wing area is so small at the tip, the plane will normally stall at low speeds. can be solved with front wings but that will make the plane, very, very ugly.
Mounts:
My builds include the main wing on a low mount and the rear stabilizers a little above the main wing. this design will reduce compression and improve reliability at higher altitudes.
mid mount: idk bout this kind of mount but if i have these, there will be 2 horizontal stabilizers that will improve maneuverability and stall speed.
top mount: i have no idea but it feels like it is used for gliding.
@FatNinja sorry to ask, but what is mount looks like ?
i prefer swept back wings for fast aircraft wings that are neutral and do not tilt on large rotor aircraft but i need help with delta wings
@Cipher I usually use it for my Hypnoplanes.
it helps! @Delphirier
@Cipher Illuminati wing.
yes, but more drag too. Swept are better for speeds and turns and delta is for altitudes and speed @Delphirier
Sometimes you can have all of them, tail + canard if its heavy enough @JovianPat
yes, but if you can delay them its better! @FatNinja
Sometimes Delta wings, with canard. For some reason it might make a better agility than regular pitch.
My favourite is straight because It's just easier to use, plus if they're swept forward or backwards and you stall It's harder to regain control

in general low mount makes the plane more maneuverable and high mount makes it more stable @FatNinja
