I might not be able to fix it but it looks pretty good, the design.

Thankyou I have been basing it off a French Curriss Tomahawk but for some reason it can't take off, it propels itself into the ground

Are you using a modular engine?

No I got no idea how to build one

Are you using a normal diesel engine then?

Yes, I have a medium engine but I also have another plane to the same size that uses a medium engine

And you've linked up the cooling, fuel and RPS etc correctly?

Everything is connected correctly, it's just when it starts it starts getting speed but won't take off then pushes itself nose first into the ground

This is similar to another problem there was w/ someone else's plane.
I'll look at yours when I get the chance.

I'll try but there are no guarantees.

remove the pivots from your elevator and merge the elevators with the fuselage. Subgrids don't work well for aircraft. Do the same with the main wings and add in rudders or control surfaces for rolling. The rotating ailerons have no effect in game

That's what I tried. I don't think the engine is the problem. I think the flaps and control surfaces need some fixing.

Yea the engine works fine. I posted a workshop link to a fix. I changed it to use the ingame control surfaces/rudders (not pivoting subgridgs) and also added a couple Wing pieces on the plane to give it a little lift and it flies just fine. Also added in a gyro because it makes all flying craft significantly more stable, but this can be deleted and it will still work
