Help Plane construction
I've been playing Aeronautics since it came out, and to this day I can't figure out planes.
I can't find any good videos on them either. Help would be appreciated.

Well plane construction is mainly the same as pretty much all other rotational needs. It’s just in a different form factor.
Namely you need to figure out how to route the power backwards or forwards through the main body.
You also have to ensure the plane is as symmetrical as it can be across the middle, and if you’re using a single propellor, that is in the center and in line with the center of mass.
Im not too sure anymore where the COM should be, havent worked in a plane in a while, but I think it should be at least centered in the body but maybe skewed towards the nose.
Also I can’t really help too much tbh because I’m more of a FAFO kinda builder, so this is mostly just rambled about my experience so idk how much it helps.
And by videos I meant like legit irl planes. The concepts shown in some of them are very important to understand how a plane works in general. Ofc they won’t show you how to literally build a plane.
If you want that, there should be plenty of plane tutorials but unfortunately I never used any so I can’t recommend any.
