Re: Missile fins The turning effect from a fin depends only on its distance from the center of the missile, not counting the thruster - so with a 12 block long missile, the center is the sixth block from the front. Also, fins at the front produce more drag than fins at the rear. Thus, the first fin should always go just in front of the thruster. The second fin goes in front of that, and only for the third fin does it make sense to place it in front, right after the head. In general, you should have more fins in the back than in the front.
can't believe the spud cubs judged my plane
one thing I'd like to say is that there are flares on the plane, they are in the rear of the plane next to the main jets
Ahhhhhh
also i have an ir gimble camera and a telescoping visual camera on the bottom of the plane
honestly i have no idea why i put an engine near the back of the plane

Hey, as good as my aeronautical design classes!
The string analogy with the CoM and CoL was really interesting.
Id love to see you make more of these random vids.

Spudcubs vids are my favorite. Usually better than the game ftd 😊
Indeed Strum, indeed
