HOW TO NOT SHARE A PLANE

This is not a plane, but a tutorial for novices of the game.

How to NOT share a plane: Have you just started to play, and for the first time you understand how to fly your model. Do you know how to place the COM centers, COL, COT and the plane seems stable, there seems manageable, and after a week we bungled over, now there seems to even nice. And then it's a lightning bolt, Mach 2! For the first time you understand how to place the engines to create an afterburner, and it seems there's one thing to real experts. You have learned to use Nudge, you have even a few aesthetic details changed via XML to make them beautiful. After having fluttered from island to island and did some aerobatics over the airport, the desire to press that "share" button is unsustainable, and you do it. Have you shared your plane! Then ... the disappointment. Sinks rapidly by HOT, and disappears almost immediately by "NEWEST". Few downloads, no upvote ... takes you almost anger.

Why do I say that this was NOT a plane to share? We say that this aircraft has already surpassed the first which are usually made (and unfortunately shared) light years. The first are tiny, with landing gear obviously huge in relation to the plane, and fly often indecently. This has decent size, a well-designed cart, and already flies better than those. What's wrong?

First of all the look. It is a mix of styles, with "WW2" wings and arrow tailplanes. Yes, you have worked a lot, the wings are made of many sections to have a look elaborate, it is true. But they are ugly! They are the result of your discovery of how are placed COM and COL centers. To put them in the right places, you had to make the wings far ahead. And then that section of the fuselage ... if you look, you see that the inverted shape than it should. The fitting should be backward, not forward. Those two huge air intakes serve, it's true. But of tune with the style of the muzzle. The planes with the air intake on the nose had no other of nearby vents. In total by a sense of "wrong", even if taken piece by piece seems fine.

Second thing, how it flies. There seems good flights, is "almost" stable "almost" manageable. But in fact if you notice the pull-up maneuver (very important), you see a small "bounce", and then a certain laziness. Something wrong. Just as it is now, it's BORING. A boring plane does not lead upvote ... must impress. Must go OK, be fun to drive. And to be fun it must be stable yet responsive. Just pull-ups must raise the nose and raise, without that bounce. If you can not just eliminate it, and it's a crazy week, set aside the aircraft. Mind, I know. The regain in a few weeks. But start a new job. That bounce well when you see it engage the autopilot. If the nose and the tail begin to bounce up and down like a dolphin swimming fast on the prow of a ship ... you have a problem. It's big.

Third, important ... really IMPORTANT. You have seen how it is painted? white fuselage, red trim, gray wings, blue roof. They ARE THE BASIC COLOURS !! No model with these colors takes an upvote, never, not even by mistake.

Dear friends, I hope this kind of tutorial will be useful.
