Why do does extending my flaps pitch down the aircraft?

85.3k Walvis  3.5 years ago

I've been working on some custom wings (for the first time).
When I extend my flaps, the aircraft agressively pitches down.
How can I fix this?

Without flaps the plane flies fine when the flaps are not down.

    Put the wing where the flap is at least near the plane's center fuselage

    If the flaps are made of wing blocks it might create drag and pitch the plane down. The same thing can happen if they are made of fuselage. Try removing drag and weight from the flaps. They might also be to far back on the plane so they act more like a vertical stabilizer than flaps so try moving them forwards.
