That's a good point about the intakes- I'll have to play around with how many intakes:engine I actually need, thanks! Could you expand a bit more about where I would translate the jet engines from if I don't connect them onto those mounting struts? Using the translate tool in the hangar only moves them so far so I wouldn't be able to just move them from the mounting point of the engine, but I might just not be hitting the right key to move them as far as I would like to, lol. And you're definitely right about the bearings- though I'm absolutely not hitting the rpm limit on anything but the smallest engine design, my main issue is simply strength. Using the DLC bearing makes it easier to control the pitch of the blades what with their servo mounts (and is also a handy RPM gauge), so I was hoping I'd be able to get away with using the DLC part and then some simple roller bearings towards the front but my first forays into that didn't work well. OMG thank you!! I'm happy to be here haha

Hi! First time posting but I've long been a lurker of this thread. The introduction of the rotor parts allowed me to try my hand at reinventing the wheel to make something a bit worse, and I compiled a few screenshots of my efforts into this album (warning, all of the planes look terribly ugly). https://imgur.com/a/HmmU5k5 The main problem I've encountered is that in shying from actually learning how to make a bearing that works I've subsequently limited the maximum length of the shaft before it starts to oscillate around in an unstable way till it starts to rotate in an entirely different plane (if the shaft droops too much and then droops more when rotating it gets pushed by the engines). I've tried making a crude bearing of sorts after the turbine section by using landing gear and a structural ring, but I've not found it to help in any case (even with having made sure the gear have "same vessel interaction" switched on). Here is an example of the kind of thing I have tried Has anyone got any advice? Thanks Also: That's an awesomely small plane klond! How did it handle?
