Folding wing test

I havent seen any other plane like this one on here. The wings rotate so the plane can be stored more compactly in a carrier/hanger. Slide VTOL all the way up to rotate wings into flight position and back to middle to rotate them into the "stored" position. This is just a prototype.

    I made two new versions of this plane you can get ideas from. I think I am going to make another boat soon because those have been the funnest for me to make so far. @DragonCreations

    Okay so do you know how to configure the rotators? As far as the controls? I downloaded your plane and noticed that the blocks you are trying to rotate are connected to other blocks that are fixed to the main fuselage, the blocks you want to rotate need to be only connected to the axle on the rotators if not they can't rotate. Download my plane and take it apart so you can see how I left the middle hollow to allow the blocks to remain free from the fuselage and rotate properly @DragonCreations

    Thanks for the feedback, this is my first attempt at this. I just got bored and wanted to try something different, I may make a more advanced design in the future and try to make the primary wings fold twice, once where they meet the fuselage and one again in the middle so they are even more compact, and im not happy with the way the tail wings rotate. Just a fun test

    Awesmazing! I was just about to release mine. I like the pitch and all, but maybe in the future you could make it so it moves the primary wings in a different way so it could be at different dihaderal angles.
