Okay, those help, but here's my main problem: The ship balances perfectly for, oh, 20 seconds or so. Then the engines have drained enough fuel to upset the balance. So how do you counteract that? Can you even do so?
Hi. I've tried to make a VTOL spaceplane before, but cannot seem to get the thing to balance correctly. How many engines do I need? Where do I put them? Where should the center of mass be? I have created aircraft capable of flying, and quite well, but any tips would be great.
