Thanks. I used the rotator for pitch and added roll control surfaces to the elevators. The rotator is set to 15° because that is the optimum range for maximum pitch (in other words, any more and the elevators would start to act like air brakes, and any less then then the plane wouldn't pitch very much). Also, I kept the center of mass as close to the center of lift as possible, this seems to let aircraft maneuver more smoothly. @AV8R
@IronOverlord the pitch and roll are very...VERY smooth. could you tell me what all you did to do this? it looks like you use a rotator for the elevators, but also use them for roll. 15 degree range of motion at 100% speed, that right? my one critique is the pitch rate seems just a touch slow. overall nice job!
@IronOverlord No problem!
Thanks @ForeverPie
@IronOverlord @IronOverlord yea
Looks very good! Although, the nose is a little bit more flat I believe. Still, nice job!
The shaking is due to whacky physics due to weight, if that's what you mean @Delta737800
What do you mean? @Delta737800
Thanks! @XxcreedexX
What's up with the rear gear?
