Yep B. Its also the one that has given them so many problems with weight and bulkhead issues early on. I didnt hear anything today so prob have to wait until monday to see what happened. @JED
Not yet, I’ll be on base this weekend so I’ll do what I can to find out and update. This is a big deal, things like this can massively impact the program such as halting production until they ascertain what caused the fatal error. @jamesPLANESii
Ahhh thanks for clarifying...Funny you mention anime as im currently watching Sword Gai on netflix...it has the english voice over but its pretty cool so far.@pancelvonat
Listening to a disgruntled user of the program youre questioning will never lead to a positive answer. So continue to dream until you yourself are the disgruntled user...:-D
@CursedFlames
If the input is set to LG it will open or close as you have programmed it to, all the inputs have a on / off type input feature. I tried the reverse brake and did not notice much difference than regular brake..

In most cases the design, decision and directive comes from many levels above the painter / applicator actually performing the work. Also, what many people ( citizens outside the aerospace industry ) don't know is that much of the work performed is outsourced to 3rd parties which complete the work as directed and typically do not deviate from the contract. So, when stuff like this happens its not always the guy doing the work but more likely the management tree above them.
@randomusername
You will find when you get older the illusion that people in decision making positions usually dont utilize their brains during the coarse of daily operations. We have a saying at my job “ to get promoted you have to be a moron or a idiot “ because all members of management are absolutely stupid. So its easy for me to understand how stuff like that up there happens.
in the future, i would suggest modding the rotator input to “landinggear” so that can be a automatic step when raising the the gear. I will test out the reverse thrust and get back with you. I honestly didnt notice it when i tested it. @klm747klm747
Here is some constructive criticism and advice to help you in the future...
1- Test your build out prior to uploading, make sure all the added features work properly. When I tested the rear gear doors are stuck down and it has a auto roll issue. Also, it seemed to me all the controls could be better thought out...i/e - flaps and such
2- Make your plane look more presentable in the pictures. Use the high quality setting when taking your picks. Use a better color scheme...i/e the windows are black, use the popular mirror like color which is R-162 G-231 B-255 S-1 M-1 on my last build for example.
3- Download and tear apart some popular users builds. See how they built stuff and the methods used. This is how a lot of ios users get useful parts also.
4- Ask for help, this community is overloaded with brainiacs that are chomping at the bit to show off their supreme talents.
TY bud! Although I think the “ease of maneuver points” are lower than I would give I am obviosly biased but I do think this entry flew better than the entries I was able to test out on my ipad but im grateful for 3rd place though. Wouldnt be possible without you helping me learn to mod parts :-) @JohnnyBoythePilot
enjoy school! before u know it you will be overworked like the rest of us robots. If only i could go back to high school....i would have quite a bit more fun :-D
nice looking heli, just my opinion but I think it would fly better overall if you adjusted the gyro and put the yaw back to normal its inverted. other than that i think its a great heli! nice job

Nice Job! Nice use of sleds module. be sure to test out before upload as a part falls off the engine area when map loads. Still great job!
