    @Timmy123429 to explain a few basics, since Nukelar gave you the names.


    The relationship between the CoL and CoM is very important. If the CoL is ahead of the CoM, your plane will be unstable and will effectively try to turn around all the time. If the CoL is too far behind the CoM, your plane will be so stable that it basically can't turn. Try to keep the CoL just a little behind the CoM, and experiment to find the balance of agility and stability that you want.


    Normally you don't need to worry about the CoT. It can be as far away from the CoM as you like as long as it is at roughly the same height and not off to one side. The CoT and CoL don't really affect each other.


    VTOL planes are an exception to the rule about CoT no mattering much. To hover properly, the CoT should preferably be as close to the CoM as possible.


    Feel free to ask if you have questions
