Thanks for this tutorial. With this help i made my first custom plane and it did fly on first try! Not too far (wing fell off) but it did.
-
Really nice video, but it wasn't the best approach and landing i've ver seen :)

@bscross32 Yes, it was the very first test. Yes, I have built a supersonic aircraft (several, actually), but not for tutorials and not for download. This was already many years ago.

that's impressive how it performed was that the very first test?
did you build any supersonic aircraft yet?

@deltaa42 Sounds like you need to work on your CG (Center of Gravity). Try moving it backwards. (Positive larger numbers move the CG further back).

Hi, I have a question, On my first test flight, everything went OK, but once I place my airplane on the ground, the fuselage beyond my main gear tipped backwards. Do you know anything that I could fix there? Thanks!

Well, it's simple logic: if the plane tips backward, then either it's tail-heavy, or the landing gear needs to be moved back. A plane MAY fly OK when it's tail heavy, but it's always more stable if it's slightly nose-heavy. You can make adjustments to the incidence of the elevator, to compensate for nose-heaviness, and the result will be a more stable aircraft than if you leave it tail heavy. So I'd recommend moving the CG forward.

@danklaue where can I find the CG?

@Trevorpilot123
In PlaneMaker's "Standard>Weight & Balance" menu. If you press the space bar in PlaneMaker, you can see the plane in wireframe mode, and the CG is represented as a round black ball.
