The truth about planes made from wings…

328k SpiritusRaptor  9.2 years ago

Just try it, make a plane only out of wings and see what you find...

About 6 months ago we started to see these types of planes, they looked good and performed seriously well. One could turn on a dime and they were seriously stable. As long as you had the CoM and CoL correct you could do just about anything!

Now with the new fuselage block (seriously cool), one cannot rely on the benefits of ‘wing’ planes if one wants to make seriously cool looking planes and jets. The challenge now is of balance, yes, one still needs to focus on the CoM and CoL, but balance (weight) and position of CoT is now more critical for a smooth, functional and enjoyable flying plane…

    i tried making a Forward Swept Canard right before the update out of wings and it was actually not too bad to build. it didn't fly well, but thats probable because of the design itself and not the building technique
