I'm working on a plane right now and when you pull up all the way, the nose pitches up violently while the plane keeps going in the same direction, and this isn't possible to get out of unless you pitch all the way down, and sometimes that doesn't work and it goes into a spin. I've tried making the tail wings a semi symmetric aerofoil but it still does it. Help?
Is there a way to stop tail wings stalling and making your plane incontrollable?

@IAmMeObviously I'm pretty sure what it actually was was I used a seperate wing for my elevator control surface and the plain part of the elevator. When you do this, the control surface and plain wing fight eachother until one reaches critical AOA and stalls. Because the control surface was bigger than the plain portion of the wing, the plain portion stalled and siddenly jad much less lift, and hence the plane suddenly pitched violently upward. Also, because a part of the tail plane had stalled, the CoL shifted forward infront of the CoM, causing an unrecoverable stall.
I'm very late lol, but this is caused by the main wings stalling. Your wing loading is too high and the wings aren't able to change the momentum of the aircraft. Either make the plane lighter or make the wing lift scale larger (liftScale)
Ok cool great! Just the system that I use often works (it does end up adding lots of weight though!) @jamesPLANESii
Yup! @Rodrigo110
Oh, BogdanX fixée the problem then? @jamesPLANESii
BogdanX was right. @Rodrigo110
Nope lol. @Rodrigo110
What you have to do is put more weight in the front of the plane. This spinning happens because the weight in the back is significantly heavier than the front, so when you turn it gains momentum and throws the plane off balance. Just try and add more and more weight in the front until the issue is resolved
Eh. But it isn't realistic... :/ @bigpurpledragon
If you are still wondering, sometimes I put on a gyroscope with no controls and lower the power and speed down a lot. It works well with non-acrobatic planes ;)
@Thepilot172 You go to forums, go to whatever kind of forum post you want, and at the top of the posts there will be a "New" button in yellow. press that and everything from there is obvious.
What I always do is to make the control on the horizontal wing about 2/3 of the lenght of the wing and half of the lenght of the ends of the wing.
Try to reduce the lift or you can move the CoM farther from the CoL.
Ok. @BogdanX
At high altitudes, yes. But it's controllable enough. @BogdanX
smaller pitch control surfaces?
Yup! XD @EliteIndustries1
No. They're slightly further away from each other than on my usual planes. @Alienbeef0421
COM/COL too close?
When this happens to me, I add more weight to the center of the fuselage
