Is there a way to stop tail wings stalling and making your plane incontrollable?

234k jamesPLANESii  7.6 years ago

I'm working on a plane right now and when you pull up all the way, the nose pitches up violently while the plane keeps going in the same direction, and this isn't possible to get out of unless you pitch all the way down, and sometimes that doesn't work and it goes into a spin. I've tried making the tail wings a semi symmetric aerofoil but it still does it. Help?

    Ok cool great! Just the system that I use often works (it does end up adding lots of weight though!) @jamesPLANESii

    What you have to do is put more weight in the front of the plane. This spinning happens because the weight in the back is significantly heavier than the front, so when you turn it gains momentum and throws the plane off balance. Just try and add more and more weight in the front until the issue is resolved

    Eh. But it isn't realistic... :/ @bigpurpledragon

    If you are still wondering, sometimes I put on a gyroscope with no controls and lower the power and speed down a lot. It works well with non-acrobatic planes ;)

    @Thepilot172 You go to forums, go to whatever kind of forum post you want, and at the top of the posts there will be a "New" button in yellow. press that and everything from there is obvious.

    What I always do is to make the control on the horizontal wing about 2/3 of the lenght of the wing and half of the lenght of the ends of the wing.

    Try to reduce the lift or you can move the CoM farther from the CoL.

    At high altitudes, yes. But it's controllable enough. @BogdanX

    No. They're slightly further away from each other than on my usual planes. @Alienbeef0421

    When this happens to me, I add more weight to the center of the fuselage
