Can somebody tell me how to make a plane maneuverable cause I struggle to do so, I tried everything (wing lengths, moving CoM, moving CoL etc.) but nothing works. Pls help meh

@ThatOneF15Eagle make the Col in front of CoM like this
Actually, that makes the plane more stable, thus less maneuverable. I want the exact opposite, CoM close to CoL, but still have it so that CoM is in front.
@FreeRangedLemon
large control surfaces
Luckily I have negative mass blocks so I can use those to shift CoM back and use tiny wings in the nose to bring CoL to the front, however I still need some understanding on your setup.
@randomusername
So, your "standard setup"? (CoL infront of the CoM) @randomusername
I warned you of high part count :)
@CruzerBlade
@ThatOneF15Eagle crap 721 parts
my laptop says "no thank you"
Ok. I have an idea. Basically make the control surfaces have no airfoil in them and use rotators to make them look like they are affecting the plane, but have no actual wing block in them and use dragless and weightless fuselage blocks to prevent brake-turning. And now just put them on some rotators and place wings in the airfoil (the plane has realistic airfoils) and done. @Mmdben
@ThatOneF15Eagle most of the time. also an over sized control surface can act like an airbrake more than a control surface so don't make then very very big.
So, low wing loading=tighter turns?
@Mmdben
read this,and this.
also you can decrease the wing loading by making the wings bigger or making the aircraft lighter. but be aware that very low wing loading can cause this.
Wing loading is 60. Though I don't really know what that means because I'm a stupid dumb retarded dummy.
@Mmdben
here
It's already pretty maneuverable, just needs some stability when turning. Also beware of high part count
@CruzerBlade
low wing loading-below 12 you get a turn time of only 3 seconds!- ( but you need to do some magic to make your plane stable at high speeds. that's it!
@ThatOneF15Eagle upload plane as unlisted pls
Fast plane: check
Large CFs: check
Trial and error: already did that 4 quadrillion times, so check
Plane still not maneuverable. Now what.
@CruzerBlade
faster plane
larger control surfaces
trial and error
