[karmic venture]

Angle 45 degrees detected, respect unearned

[mellow heart]

Vehicle

[wild plank]

xd

[mellow heart]

Quite fat and short I like it

[wild plank]

Isnt possible

[mellow heart]

Less fat and short put it back put it back

[wild plank]

If I make it thinner

The sweep wont work

[mellow heart]

Why are you saying something isn't possible

Literally nobody asked you to do anything LOL

[wild plank]

I mean

Isnt possible to make it thinner

:C

I know is fat but

[mellow heart]

I like it

I like how stubby it is

It's a good vibe all around

[wild plank]

thnks

[cyan kernel]

Yo that's from my country
Nice build

[wild plank]

oh really?

[wild plank]

Thanks

I try to do my best

[green brook]

schem???

[wild plank]

You need Tank tussle modpack

[green brook]

thx

[subtle blade]

wait a sec is the wing sweep mechanism using a propeller bearing?

[wild plank]

Yep

[subtle blade]

and how do you give it rotation?

[wild plank]

Sequenced gearshift

[subtle blade]

I mean I dont see a cog

is it from below?

[wild plank]

There are two sequenced gearshifts inside the plane, one for each wing, they are connected to two redstone links that when activated turn the wings 48° with the propeller bearings

[subtle blade]

yeah but how does the bearing recieve the rotation?

am I just blind?

[wild plank]

With the sequenced gearshift XD

Obviously there is a motor that rotates the sequenced gearshift

[subtle blade]

oh wait theres a full block above the bearing right?

[wild plank]

Yep, a slab

The propeller bearing is facing downwards

Try the schem

[subtle blade]

yeah now I know Im just a bit blind

tho wouldnt a mechanical bearing be better?

[wild plank]

No

mechanical bearings dont maintain rotation

Instead of making a 48° rotation, they rotate 90° and destroy the plane back

The phys bearings also don't work, the wings wouldn't rotate 48° bc It would collide with the back of the plane

The propeller bearings make the wings rotate and maintain their rotation also it eliminate the hit box of the wings so it can rotate without colliding

[subtle blade]

you can wrench them into place only near initial angle mode

[wild plank]

Tbh

Propeller bearings works perfectly in this plane

[mellow heart]

If they place and then also un place mid flight wouldn't they fuck up the balance

Like wouldnt staying assembled (or whatever the word is) most of the time be better?

just makes the wing sweeping purely aesthetic then

[wild plank]

Also when propeller bearings are activated not only eliminates the hitbox of the wings, also eliminate the weight

So it flies faster

And has better maneuverability

[subtle blade]

you can use the place when anchor destroyed mode then

I mean on a propeller bearing the kontraption is loose iirc, so doesnt it flap back and forth during flight?

[subtle blade]

correct me if Im wrong but I think the prop bearing, flap bearing, mechanical bearing all use the same kind of no mass no hitbox contraption

[wild plank]

I'm not sure if mechanical bearing do that but yep, prop and flap bearing use no mass hitbox

[subtle blade]

do the wings provide lift when on a prop bearing?

[quiet walrus]

😭 why is it so stubby

😭 all ur planes are

[wild plank]

No stubby = no wings sweep

[quiet walrus]

.

[wild plank]

It's because of the perspective

Also, the F-14 Tomcat is stubby already
