make a new part into a wing

[Zephram Kerman]

Just simply copying the two bits of code from the deltaWing part.cfg wasn't enough. There are some factors I hadn't considered until getting into it. Here's what I borrowed:

// --- winglet parameters --- 
// dragCoeff will override the maximum_drag value drag
Coeff = 0.6 deflection
LiftCoeff = 1.9 

But I find nothing to establish the orientation of forces. Also I don't have any idea what values would be reasonable for such a large lifting area. Anyway, once added to my part.cfg, there was apparently no effect at all. The CoL marker did not even appear until I added other aero parts.

Has anyone else ever attempted to give wing attributes to a part? Any suggestions?

You need to copy the "module = " bit at the top of the file too, to make it a winglet / control surface.

Aha! I didn't see that line. Changing it from "module = part" to "module = winglet" did the trick. Thanks!
