try putting a face on the bottom of the canopy, normal/"solid" side facing the fuse. i think i had this sane issue a few versions back, and that fixed it. worth a try enjoy crashed

or here as well....animated pilots setup is fairly simple, i will send the max file if you need more info. crashed

Sent the prelim plane to Greg, he did some physics and sent it back, but have not been home to "fly" it.... maybe this weekend. crashed

Here is a good place to start if you are making a plane, spells out all you need to get it into the sim. enjoy crashed

If you are willing to put out an honest effort, you will find PLENTY of people here willing to teach/help you with your models. we all sucked at first, but with many failures, we learned and improved. crashed

looks kinda "poly-piggy" as it sits, how many faces are reported by wings?

Doug, If you go to the link i provided, you can enter thickness and camber spec range, and it will sort for you..... "print" that list and look in rf for the editor window. Not the correct solution, but should get you much closer initially. crashed

Hey Doug, been HERE ?? crashed

like this? crashed

Jeff, if you plan for it in wings, and map it in max, it is easy. just make sure you have a "split" line on ALL surfaces. MAJ, looking good man, nice work.
