Simple Wing Benchmark Stand (Roll)
INSTRUCTIONS
Trim - wing rotator input multiplier & maximum angle of the rotator. Set to '1' for the wing rotator angle to be synced to the VTOL input.
VTOL - wing rotator angle. Maximum angle = 90°.
BASIC USE:
1) Select your desired airfoil for each wing in the editor;
2) Load into the world, spawn at the "Wright Airport" location (unlocked by default);
3) Enable wind, set the wind direction to "180", set the "Gust mode" to "None";
4) Set the Trim to 1;
5) Set the VTOL to the desired wing's angle of attack;
6) Use Roll to test the wing performance and find the aileron "invert points"
"Invert point" is a condition where the aircraft begins to roll in the opposite direction relative to the player's input. I believe all of you have experienced inverted roll at high angles of attack, and that's why.
"Invert point" example (symmetric airfoil):
You can also test your own wings for roll "invert points", just replace the default wing with yours. Increase the dead weight of the base if the stand begins to tilt / fly.

I though this was a billboard some sort of build
I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at but it looks cool
this actually looks pretty useful
I thought that was a Walv!s post for a second
