MF-7-B Swanhead III...Help.

7,203 Xogo  8.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Xogo's MF-3-E Swanhead

So, this is generally better than the A model, but has one problem (It was there on the A model as well, along with a few other things I've built off the Swanhead). For some reason, this thing seems to have a ton of drag on the botton of the craft, and I can't figure out why. Any help would be appreciated.

    @SelectAKey High Gs indeed. Probably wouldn't have been a problem if ythis game had control stiffening, but, alas, it does not.

    @Xogo cool, but no point in sharing a creation if its just going to break. Right!? I dunno

    Done some testing, can't cause problems (Apart from hard pitches below 300mph stalling the plane, easy to recover though). @SelectAKey, what exactly are you doing to break the tail?.

    The drag is the least of your worries....the tail configuration with those vectoring engines is your biggest worry!
