I think there is a easiest path solution. A single link, on this end. That goes to a page with links (maybe sub-pages), broken up by catagory. The outside links come straight back to simpleplanes.com.
A few Mod's/Administrators are selected for the iOS users (answerable to the Developers.) They should be knowledgable in the mechanics of the side site, as it will be their responsibility to set-up the site, and manage it, but SP Dev's should have over all control (to protect SimplePlanes.) But, it should be left up to the "iOS Mod's" to work out what works best for iOS, and which build links go in what catagory.
They could even have a second side forum devoted to iOS build issue. Of course, the site should be open to all users, reguardless of platform. Those non-iOS users, with a curious nature, might learn something about the working without mods or xml access. Might even help them build better.
OK In a nutshell.
A single link on the existing SP Main Page, connecting to;
A Side Page with root control held by SP Dev's.
The side page :
"iOS Mod's" selected by SP team.
Links to Parts and Assy. "builds" on SP site, selected and organized by "iOS Mod's"
Possible "side forum" (iOS specific)
Thank You, All, for your patience. I did not bother to pre-draft... Probably should have.
@password123 _ Took all of two minutes to figure out the simple draw program and make this avatar. I think it might be more memorable this way. It has character.
But, Thank You for asking.
@Shmexysmpilot , @Feanor , and @mushr0om have it. Think of a car with all of its wheels in a straight line. Its going the fall. The wheels are your buoyant sections. If you have buoyancy all the way across the bottom, it tends to act as a single wheel on land.
Having a lower CoM also helps, but is not entirely necessary. Look at float planes. All of the mass is above the buoyant floats. But, the floats are spaced apart, like wheels on a car.
I would like to thank you, both, for you input on this subject. It just annoys me that the iOS guys are so hampered by the mod restriction. We often take for granted that we can just tap Overload or Fine Tuner, or open the xml file to change some connections. The folks on iOS have to post a request and ask for help. Then, wait and hope.
. It is a pitty, because there are some fine iOS designers in the community.

After some more looking through the parts section, that thought had just occured to me. Part of the problem is the one-stop format many have taken. It does not lend itself well to a search, for, lets say rotators. There might be some hits, but will there bewhat you are looking for?
This almost needs a MOD's assistance and a special section on the site. The section mainly would be to help the iOS guys, but all can access it. But, only a MOD can shift a post into it, and only if it has merit. @jamesPLANESii
@FlyingFanatic Exagerate much??? I was on page three and still had not found a single modified landing gear, much less hinge rotator set to landing gear. I am talking about rather common parts here. @MrVaultech Yes, parts is the better or the two.
@Shmexysmpilot Yes. your window sound correct. Also, I have noticed that the weekend has an initial pick- up on Thursday, for some reason, with a bigger surge on Friday.
@Shmexysmpilot @JoddyFubuki788 Giving times in GMT allows for easy conversion for everyone. I think I am GMT-5, SO I would subtract 5 hours from a GMT reference.
You need to ask the map mod makers. Maybe the Azores or a very simple and downsized Hawaii. But, please, NO acurate maps of 'target' locales. We don't want people planning another 9/11 on SimplePlanes.
There is a lot of good advice here. I would like to expand on a point made by @Visify, below.
"Of course, it's also about time of upload..."
When a plane gets an upvote shortly after being uploaded, it goes to the top of the 'Hottest' page. The ranking on that page is based on Upvotes AND Time. So you want to upload at at time when there are a lot of people on the site. Just one upvote can put you at the top of the 'Hottest' page. Many people check that page first. So, you have to time it as best you can.
I think there are those that know what time much better than do I, so I hope they will comment on this. (GMT / UTC time references, as we all live in different time zones.)
If they don't post times, you could post a new forum question specifically for that. Doing so will help others at the same time. (They also wonder when to post.)
I drained the fuel from the primary wings (it is a glider after all), then played it from Bandit Airfield Approach. It wanted to dive, but was very controlable. It landed light as you please. Which was rather surprising, as I was the pilot.
Draining the fuel dropped the wing load to 8.4 lbs/Ft squared.
A great job. But, look closely at the gray Tech images. In the overhead imige, it shows the upper wing off center. (The tech imigesare without perspective. Try using the Overload mod, and compare the x position to the x of the cockpit to get true center.
Wish I had seen your offer of help 4 hours ago. Twenty minutes ago, I found a major no-go flaw when I was testing the sit of the suspention on the wheels.
ouch

Okay,...

Yeah !

Oops!. I almost forgot!

Forget the bigger boat, where's the bigger plane?
@Victor039 _ I understand. You did well with it.
Thank You, again, @SmileMore13

Now that's different. The shape reminds me of the box a bottle of Tabasco comes in.
Yeah Tobasco!

@GINGER01 I find it faster to save to a temp file, then load the temp file. Exiting and reentering the editor is incredibly slow process on my tablet.

Found the hinge, but not the landing gear on page 2, but take a look, it's hidden.

@MrVaultech @jamesPLANESii @FlyingFanatic There are many things grouped there. How long does it take to search?
@Shmexysmpilot Yes. your window sound correct. Also, I have noticed that the weekend has an initial pick- up on Thursday, for some reason, with a bigger surge on Friday.
@Shmexysmpilot I checked. I am GMT / UTC -4. I was wrong, but it was that easy for me to check.
@Shmexysmpilot @JoddyFubuki788 Giving times in GMT allows for easy conversion for everyone. I think I am GMT-5, SO I would subtract 5 hours from a GMT reference.
The picture makes me think of the 'Navigators' from 'Dune'

A nice little glider.
