I have been tinkering with a creation for hours now and I find myself very frustrated. I am working on building a flying craft and it seems in order except for one problem. My propellers always pull to the right. I cant seem to fix this. I have tried two sets making the spin things go in opposite direction and stacking. This is annoying the heck out of me. Anyone know why they pull to the right? Attachments:

Anyone know why they pull to the right? Newton's third law.  If you want to turn the blades clockwise, the plane will in turn try to rotate counter-clockwise. Besiege doesn't yet have both clockwise and counter-clockwise props. However someone came up with a very ingenious solution. Check out this thread. besiege.freeforums.net/thread/201/fully-maneuverable-triple-plane-updatedIn this plane, there are 2 sets of props. The main one that spins faster and is farther, the anchor one, that rotates slow and is mounted at right angles to the standard. Then there is a free rotating joint connecting this setup to the plane. The first prop wants to spin and pull the plane forward, but it needs something to turn against. The second prop is that something, it just resists turning because it is oddly mounted. And none of the twisting force is tramsferred to the body of the plane. |

Oh, and the plane turns right because the right wheel is being pushed against the ground by the spinning prop. While the left wheel is almost weightless.
