Default Aerofly RC7 Model Strength

I'm exploring snap roll control combinations which, although they work fine in real world flight, result in model disintegration in RC7. Is there a way to disable the "failure mode"? (Model I'm using is the Spark)

Thanks

It is not possible to disable model breakage. Could you post a video link of your snap roll?

OK - I suspected as much - are there specific settings in "joints" that make wing attachment stronger? I've experimented and can make them weak enough for a wing to fall off on the ground, but large numbers don't seem to change much beyond a moderate level.

Not a problem with reasonable snap inputs. As I posted, I would like to explore "rate of input" effects which use an instantaneous input via a TX point curve (which work fine to a point). The quick inputs apparently exceed the expected loads predicted by the program. A video probably won't help much - failure mode easily duplicated by a high speed "wall" entry.

Thanks for the response.

Hi Earl,

does the problem still exist?
If so, please try to add the line as shown below:

Now the wings will never break.

Yes, it appears to.

Thanks
