How do you make a plane fly better?

How do you make a plane fly better (especially more stability) when you have a fixed exterior wing size? I have NEVER built a handling-oriented plane before. Any advise?

    trial and error, com just in front of col but not too close otherwise pitch is exagerated, if roll is slow move aileron wing further out or main wing closer in etc. all just basic trial and error stuff. it helps to have overload as you can change pitch of control surfaces to cancel out need for trim at cruising speed etc.

    @Nerfenthusiast I actually am quite against gyros, they make the handling less realistic


    @Winstonlharambe try copying the tail wing and placing it inside the existing one. That will move the CoL backwards, make the plane more stable and glideable and also will not alter the looks at all

    Com in front of col. com and col are at the same level.

    I usually use gyros for stability and sometimes manueverability
