The trick to tweaking your plane correctly is to identify, then fix, ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME.
For the first few throws of a newly made plane, go through a cycle of checking and fixing that looks something like this....
I get a rollercoaster flight path |
SOLUTION Lower your elevators, or try adding down elevators to the back of the wings. (You can read about these things here) |
My plane barrel-rolls to the ground |
SOLUTION Make sure you have a positive dihedral. Check your plane for symmetry. Add or change the ailerons. (You can read about these things here) |
My plane is dive-bombing |
SOLUTION Ease up on your throw. Add up elevators. (You can read about these things here) |
My plane's flight is unstable |
SOLUTION Make sure your plane has positive dihedral. (You can read about this here) Add vertical shaped fins to your plane's wings. |
It always turns in the same direction |
SOLUTION Make sure your plane is symmetrical, and fix any differences. Raise the aileron on the wing opposite the direction you want your plane to turn. |
My plane rolls over and flies upside-down |
SOLUTION Make sure you have a positive dihedral. (You can read about this here) |
