Wut. Just. Happened.


Recommended Posts

So I was trying out a new medium plane I had just made. And I was flying out to the island runway, usually when I test a new plane I take it to the island runway, land, and return to the KSC. And the plane was doing quite well. I was halfway back to the KSC and descending slightly from 15km. Suddenly, my plane stalled, went into a weird dive where it stayed flat and spun in circles. I was able to regain control at about 1km, but as I started to pull up the wings fell off and I crashed into the ocean. Any thoughts on what may have happened? I was at the same speed that I had been for the whole flight when I began to randomly stall, and my engines were working fine. I still had about 400 liquid fuel left in my tanks.

It went into a flat spin due to CoM shifting and/or bad control input when you pulled up the dynamic load on the craft was too much and you experienced Unplanned Rapid Disassembly.

Center of mass shifted due to spent fuel?

 

Most likely. Drain some fuel from the tanks in the SPH and see were the Center of Mass is.

Do you have a screenshot of your aircraft?

A picture of the plane in question would be really helpful!

I agree @Yobobhi.
