This is so good, ASJ! You're helping me learn some really wonderful things, and I will incorporate it into very good stuff in the future.

since this is already a dorky Goofy airplane, I thought a few days ago,
what if the "head" spun as if it were some sort of dorky Goofy propeller?

Would that be as simple as giving that geometry a name?

Name it ~CS_SPINNER and it will spin with the prop. Of course the pivot point will affect that.

hey technoid, thank you!

hmmmm!

Technoid is correct but you do not have a ~CS_ENGINE on your model (only a dummy one in the physics) so I just added a simple torus to the model (see pic) and named it ~CS_ENGINE, then selected the nose and bulb and named them ~CS_SPINNER, now as Techniod says it spins.

oh my gosh! that looks so cool but so GOOFY at the same time!

I LOVE IT!

I'm watching it again because it's so fascinating. and I have two things to say:

first, especially at night, that looks and sounds like some kind of completely out of this world UFO!

second, you're flying the heck out of that thing!

so I guess it needs an engine in order to spin the spinner? (maybe RealFlight forgot that it's a simulation. )

Yeah ~CS_ENGINE is one of those required names I didn't think to tell you it needed to be there.
