~HELP~ F-15C Eagle

6,617 LukeDaDuke  7.4 years ago

I'm working on an F-15 and it looks good, but when I pitch up it just rolls and freaks out, the elevator is a rotator with structural wings segments on it and it has a max rotation of 15° and is cruising at ~250 to ~600. When I go pass mach 1 I'll pitch less and roll less. But I need help figuring out how to fix. The center of mass is modestly close to it about 5 blocks away behind it so a fully extended fuselage piece. This design is 1:1 so it is pretty big

It's not done but here it is

    @GINGER01 yes gyros are cheap, you get sluggish control and are able to control even at low airspeed with is not pleasing

    @Botfinder using the gyro to solve problems isn't good engineering. That's the easy way out. I feel the gyro is a cheat to make unflyable designs flyable. The gyro is a bandaid fix.

    @Botfinder I want full maneuverability and no auto stabilization
