For everyone interested, only parts containing wood are flammable (including wheels and gears).
For a more indestructible build, try using ballast blocks instead of wood ones. And at a selected mass of 0.2, they are even lighter than a single wood block.

And at a selected mass of 0.2, they are even lighter than a single wood block. I wouldn't say indestructible, as you see, the ballast blocks are not very good (from what I've found) at keeping blocks together and often fall apart, you would then need more braces to steady up the design, and if you then use shields only when needed you could, possibly, achieve a light and stronger design than only using ballast blocks. Then again, if you take this design, you might be able to come up with something that too is light and durable... I guess it's in part coming up with effective designs. |

Someone can tell where is the CenterOfMass for aerodynamic propeller?

jeveux i guess you can check it yourself by placing one on top of core block and checking COM via game feature (mind the offset for core block) - of course more precise measurement would require some advanced technique i guess.

Regarding center of mass. I saw a couple of bug reports yesterday addressing the problem, that braces have a center of mass at the starting point where you attach them. This should probably be included as a handy bit of info in this guide SuburbanSB? And spaar, regarding this center of mass for braces business. I think I finally found out why my measuring of the core block was off. Because the core block didn't "stick" to the block it was weighing down on, so I had to brace it, which I of course also did in the opposite end of the scale, but maybe not in the same order. So I think that might have been the reason my measurements were off. |

Amazing how something so small can make a difference like that, especially something you usually wouldn't even notice |

Amazing how something so small can make a difference like that, especially something you usually wouldn't even notice yeah. it was a stunning discovery =) i found this out when i was making a plane, i wanted it to be light and balanced, so i was obliged to check COM. i made everything symmetrical, and it was not in the middle =) and THEN i realized.... =) |

Yeah, if I get a moment today (pretty busy, got some appointments and such, I'll update the post. what lifting force have flying block? someone knows? If you see this post you will see someone has kindly tried to calculate this, although there is a fair bit of maths involved (see the spoiler in the post) If I get time as I said, I will update the post with this information. |

pssst spaar you able to dig into the code again to find the weights of the new blocks? Would be super useful? :3 Cheers in advance  |

Amazing topic. Thanks for this.
Btw the Wing Panel gives múch more lift in my experience then the Wing.
And the balloon lift 0.625 weight if it's set to 1.00 buoyancy.
It doesn't hover, but ever so slowly goes up. But 0.99 makes it go down faster then it lifts when set to 1.00

And poles are 0.5 heavy if the balloons are consistent. In my experience they go up a few percent slower then big blocks...
But that's probably just random.
Sliders are 0.5 as well I think. But it's hard to determine with balloons. Cóuld be a fraction lighter, but I don't think it's 0.45 weight and it's not likely to be 0.3
Uploading a video to demonstrate big block vs pole weight.
