    Make sure to have at lease four VTOL nozzles on the x, y, and z coordinates.

    1. Download and install Overload - its a huge help
    2. Open the new menu in the editor and edit text under CoM
    3. Numbers are the offset in x, y and z of your blocks CoM
    4. Use dead weights and/or mass scaling. You will noticed its increased impact

    @AstleyIndustries what do you mean by 'com shifting'? to me that was adding dead weight

    Use CoM shifting if you want to keep your plane light :D it multiplies the effects of dead weight so you dont have to use as much weight

    Keep the weight close to the center. Nozzles should be placed near the center of mass. Don't forget to add air inlets and VTOL engines. And a lot of fuel.
