@PlaneBuilder262 I uploaded another plane and the CoM is ahead of the CoL but it won’t fly. Can you help me figure out why it won’t fly?
Anytime :) If you need any help, I’m always here.
@PlaneBuilder262 I have uploaded First plane 2.0 that will fly thanks to you! Thank you so much for the help! It is very acrobatic and even reached 1600 miles per hour!
@Iamabignoob If you have the CoM and CoL equal it will be unstable. You always need to have the CoL behind the CoM for it to be stable.
@PlaneBuilder262 I have moved the CoM forward of the CoL and it just nose dives. Then I made the CoM and CoL equal and the same thing happened. It either dose back flips or it just nose dives.
@Iamabignoob Adding weight to the front is one way of doing it, another method is to move the wings further back to move the center of lift behind the center of mass which makes it stable. Do you know how to visualize the CoL (Center of Lift) and CoM (Center of Mass)? If not its simple: when in the plane builder click on the menu button, then click on the button that has a picture of a triangle with three balls and a line above it. The red ball is the Com, the blue ball is the center of lift and the yellow ball is the Center of Thrust (CoT).
@PlaneBuilder262 how do I change it? Add weight to the front? Thanks for letting me know!
Your center of lift is ahead of the center of mass. It needs to be the other way round (center of mass is ahead of the center of lift).
