@tucan sure thing!
@Pajamas720 yeah that seemed to work very well, ill post the revised version.
@Pajamas720 Thanks a bunch
Heyo. after doing a little bit of snooping around i noticed a few thing:
- there's a lot of dead weight in the back and mid section of the aircraft. this could make the aircraft unstable, especially as it uses fuel and gets lighter.
-after removing most of the dead weight and adding a bit to the nose, it glides alright (it sinks quite a bit) but flips when too much throttle is applied. it might be due to the engine exhausts being angled downward as well as being placed on top of the craft. either one will make the aircraft nose down but both will literally make it flip out.
hope that helps a bit.
Edit: if you really want to keep the engine angled you can angle the wings upward at a similar angle so that their angle of attack match the engines. unfortunately i cant find a simple fix so hopefully you can experiment with the design some more.
