Is there a way to have yaw stability without dorsal fins?

    I fortunately can. I'll try to make a couple air brakes in a variation of sizes for ya.

    @MrVaultech ok, do you know anyone who can xml mod parts because I can’t (I’m on iOS)

    I'd just reccomend making smaller air brakes using XML. Smaller it is, the less air resistance, and less likely it'll flat spin or do crazy things.

    @MrVaultech that works for a few seconds, but I think the way 8 designed it means that it over-spins way too easily and it just begins to roll, flip and eventually flat spin after I am forced to over-react to the yawing motion.

    You need to have the brakes on both sides of the wings, top and bottom for it to work best. A good number of my newer planes use this system, and can almost go into a flat spin when over-using yaw.
    (The Nachtriese is a good example of this)

    I mean make a big wing, have somebody xml scale it down. @Miniplanes

    @MrVaultech had a go at that and I had even less control
    It almost worked except for the fact that the wings go backwards at an angle at takeoff through some rotator blocks so they just make me roll instead.

    @Jengstrom doesn’t make much sense to me, but OK I will try. In iOS making a part bigger and scaling it down are the same thing, and I have no clue what nudging it in means - or how I do it. Will give it a shot though

    Use air brakes set to yaw placed on wingtips or near wingtips.

    Make the wing/fin REALLY big, scale it down so it’s small, and nudge it in. @Miniplanes

    I have tried different methods (my next method is going to be place the wings inside the vehicle) but none work. Gyroscopes don’t do anything and it’s impossible to manually control it
