  • need plane ideas 6.4 years ago

    @BlackhattAircraft well, he did ask for it. Challenges are meant to inspire users to build things of certain kind.

    @Deboss311 it would make it a bit complicated for me to track your entry if it is not a successor and you already have a successor entry.

    @Chancey21 if one is a single and one a twin, you can enter both.

    @Shippy456 no. It has to be intended for personal transport. It may be capable of aerobatics.

    @8bitgamer33 it would realistically take at least half an hour to reach that speed.

    @TheDestroyer818 there's usually not quite a lot of activity on the site during the winter. Also, I'm not posting as much as I used to. Btw, you should join a few Discord servers to more easily chat with other members of the community. You can find some in my bio.

    @TheDestroyer818 I get fewer notifications than you'd expect actually. Also, I have a lot of spare time lately.

  • Simple Passenger Plane 6.4 years ago

    Your entry has been rejected as its part count is below the required 150. I suggest upgrading your entry with detail you would find on the real plane (antennas, doors, canopy frame...) and posting again.

    @LKAF1 is reading the description really that difficult? "Intended purpose of your design must be personal transport."

    @ThePilotDude indeed, that plane matches requirements in everything but propulsion. However, if I start making exceptions, the challenge could become a complete mess.

  • General Aviation Challenge [CLOSED] 6.4 years ago

    @JediWolf that's how you pass the qualification. However, that's not how you win against a well-made 999 part entry with interior, custom control surfaces, every detail in place...

  • Some Inspirations for General Aviation challenge 6.5 years ago

    @Kimcotupan15 sure. If you find one matching the requirements. For example, Tecnam P2006T.

  • General Aviation Challenge [CLOSED] 6.5 years ago

    @Bradford there's this XML guide and my simple airfoil. To connect control surfaces, optimally use hinge rotators, and set min input on flaps rotators to "0" so flaps can't extend the wrong way. Use scaled down wings inside those custom surfaces, as fuselages don't generate lift. Also, use Overload mod to take the full advantage of XML editing.

    +1
  • General Aviation Challenge [CLOSED] 6.5 years ago

    @switdog08 yes. It says in requirements that XML editing is encouraged.

    @PointlessWhyshouldi you should use mass editing. If you are on iOS, you can steal my parts with edited mass and drag.

  • M.Corp M-300i Skycat 6.5 years ago

    @BaconAircraft thanks. Yeah, I've noticed that wings are a bit thin, bu by that time it was too late to remake them.

    +1
  • M.Corp M-300i Skycat 6.5 years ago

    @Chancey21 it depends. You can buy it with a simpler instrument panel, or, as stated in description, with just half of the instrument panel. You don't need to go for $100,000 full G1000. Airframe is more expensive than Cessna 172 due to intensive use of composites, but shouldn't be much more expensive, as technologies of manufacturing composites are constantly bringing their price lower. The rest aren't expensive components, and are fairly standard among modern GA planes.

    +1
  • M.Corp M-300i Skycat 6.5 years ago

    @Chancey21 price would be higher than the price of Cessna 172, but still lower than Beechcraft Bonanza.

  • Semi symmetric/symmetric/flat bottom 6.5 years ago

    @randomusername nope. It takes a pretty hard pull on the yoke at rotation speed to get the nose off the ground. Then you maintain a 7-10° nose up until you are clear of the runway. Then you transition to level fligt as speed increases. And you use a lot of trim to negate "pitching issue", which is the very reason trim exists.

  • Hinge rotator problem. 6.5 years ago

    The part that the rotator is moving got attached to something else. Nudge the rotator and the part it moves away from the plane (use FineTuner so you don't miss the distance when you nudge it back), select the part, and shift+k it (it refreshes connections). Then nudge it back.

    +1
  • Semi symmetric/symmetric/flat bottom 6.5 years ago

    @randomusername what pitching issue? If you are referring to different lift at different speeds, that's how aerodynamics work. Symmetric wings don't create any lift at any speed unless they have some AoA, which is why you don't get different lift at different speeds. They are only good for stabilizers.

    +1
  • Can you XML trim input? 6.5 years ago

    Just use custom control surfaces. Then you can set trimming rotator to whatever value you want.

  • Yugo 45 6.5 years ago

    @ChallengerHellcat very easy to repair. I happen to live in the country that produced them, and there are still many of those on the road here. You can find spare parts anywhere, and the are easy to install.

  • Yugo 45 6.5 years ago

    Yugo is not the worst car in the world. There are even worse cars in that price range ($200 used, in working order). It's a basic car you buy for your kid to practice. Cheap to repair, easy to park, and it can keep going with half of its parts out of order. It has gained reputation of the worst car because it was compared to usual American cars (roomy, with big engines). It's a car you'd use in the 60s and 70s to go grocery shopping.

  • Destroyer Snow Wind (Yukikaze) 6.5 years ago

    This is a very nice looking build for its part count, and for your level. However, it could use a few improvements. It drifts a lot when turning, which can be resolved by adding a large vertical stabilizer to act as keel, and it is too fast, which can be resolved by using a less powerful engine.
    You can also limit gun depression by limiting the negative input on rotators. To do that, use Overload mod. Select the rotator, open Overload window (icon will be in the bottom right corner when you enable the mod), select input tab, and limit negative input from "-1" to "0".
