@Glazeer don't use square blocks - go for the fuselage blocks, make sure the center of lift (blue) is behind the center of mass (red) (this is the most important rule for a controllable plane). to control a plane you need at least pitch, yaw (if you have dihedral) or roll and thrust (to gain altitude).
download some planes and take them apart. stay away from xml modding and other modding, this is the next step (its too complicated for me - i enjoy the simple planes the way they are now, less tools, more creativity :))
