The Handley Page Heyford was a twin-engine British biplane bomber of the 1930s. Although it had a short service life, it equipped several squadrons of the RAF as one of the most important British bombers of the mid-1930s, and was the last biplane heavy bomber to serve with the RAF. The aircraft was named for and first deployed at RAF Upper Heyford, near Bicester in Oxfordshire.
**Of all my planes, this one is the most difficult to fly. Squirrely on take off and easy to stall. The lower wing (used for holding payloads in the real-life version) really mucks things up... Advice for balancing it better is much appreciated.**

5,476 thominLooks great, but the balance of COG and COL is off, making it virtually impossible to fly. Maybe playing around with fuel tanks could help...9.9 years ago

144 LolivierAnd yeah, think that I know ehat make your plane unstable: pieces of structural wings between wings themselves. When I built my Cessna 172, I tried to put a piece of structural wing between the plane and the wheel, and when I tested the plane, it was actually have the same problem that you have. I remove them and tadam, the problem disappears. But you can't remove them on your plane without destroying all the look, so...9.9 years ago

144 LolivierAgain, I will say it, love your planes. You do replicas that aren't really knowned (have difficulties with my English, sorry) and that are great to see. Only problem, your planes (both last) lag on mobile devices9.9 years ago

Dev weebabyseamusLove your builds man, and I may have found your solution. Move your cockpit forward one block and make the nose also one blocks length further forward adding a total of 5 blocks. Then make all your bottom wings symmetric. This i have found makes it fly a little more predictable. You just had to get the COM barely in front of the COL. Pitches down a bit but it flies like an old ricketty bird. Hope that helps, and keep up the good work.9.9 years ago
