Canards won't move


Recommended Posts

I was building a model of the Sprint ABM being discussed by @p1t1o and I over in Science and Spaceflight, but when I tried to put the vanes (standard canards) on they didn't work, at all. I can't get them to actuate. They won't control the vehicle in flight; they won't even actuate on the pad. Other control surfaces (engine gimbal, etc.) on the vehicle works fine. Spent half an hour troubleshooting to no avail. Any ideas?

What a weird problem with a standard part...

Could it be that they are right on the Centre of Mass so are actuating but no control moment is commanded?

Weird root part choice?

other than that, standard suggestions - try a restart/reload, try without mods installed (if any) etc.

They were too far inside the fairing, even though they were visible outside of it. If I blew the fairing they started working.
