Wow! That is a really ingenious way of cancelling out the torque from the rotating props. At first, I thought I would make an engine with contra-rotating blades, but the game doesn't give you blades that are produce thrust in the reverse direction, so I gave up. But, seriously, This was good stuff.
By the way, have you reported to the devs the lack of oppositely directed blades?

Actually I kinda think they did that intentionally?? cuz so far we will have trouble to identify to kinds of blades? I'll go to the discussion to post this if no one else have done. The down side of this design is it's too heavy.... Anyway... if we try to add another blade the torque can't be cancel out perfectly, and farther you separate them there will be more shaking going on and tear the aviation apart. I'm having trouble with larger plan, they are not holding together very well.. |

I don't think they did that intentionally. Props are next to useless without opposite rotations. Oh, I just figured out that braces do not collide with anything, so you can have braces in the path of propellers without any problems. You can use them to strengthen your engines.  ? And may I ask why you used suspension for the spine of this plane and not wood and braces? |

Wow great design! Puts my crappy plane attempts to shame...
Tons of fun flying it around and very smooth too!
