    Hello! I recently had the idea of aircraft towing, but I couldn't find any mod for it. So I decided to make my own! This a very WIP since I am on the model stage, but I think you guys would love a plane towbar!

    is that the topology you are going to use or do you not really care about damage?

    you may need to edit the model after so that there wont be edges that are super long, you can see on the shaft inbetween they are all one long face, youll need to break it into little squares for damage
