Using Air Wrench

[Sid2008]

Hi, I am wondering if I can use Air Wrench to make sure that the aircraft that I am developing is properly seated to the ground when it is parked. Has anyone done this before? Just curious.

Yes you can, but why would you want to when you're building the thing yourself? What I mean is, you can determine the correct heights for the contact points directly from FSDS or gmax and it's not that hard to work out the static pitch and height thereafter. Check Milton Shupe's sticky on this very topic over at the Aircraft Design and Animation forum.

The problems we have are with aircraft which haven't got correct contact points and a fair bit of fiddling is needed to get them to sit correctly. Isn't that right, Lewis?

Hi,

I use Airwrench and from my experience it doesn't matter if you use that, gmax, or FSDS contact points can be a bit fiddly.

Cheers :ernae:
