Wobbly Wings, Hinges, and Pistons, oh, my!

I am making a design that can use Forward Swept wings and Rear swept wings, but the wings are too unstable. Posting more in the comments

    @edensk It worked splendidly. The plane's roll is a tad bit touchy and the yaw is like walking in high heels while drunk, but the wings do not wobble nearly as much as before. Thanks! It is posted on my account now

    use structural wings, enable control surfaces on them via overload if necessary.
    don't remove mass from hinges/rotators if what they move has mass

    I am using XML. All the parts to the wing folder thingy are set to no collision to vehicle. I also tried disabling drag effects, but I think I did that wrong
