Auto Credit Based on NumNumz's F-16 SNEAK PEEK!!!
Please don't upvote, unless you have actual advice to type in the comments. It keeps rolling left because of the back fins being angled down 10 degrees, even though the plane is syymetrical. When the fins are angled flat, the problem doesn't happen, but an F-16 has fins angled down at the back, so this needs to work like this. I've already tried making the fins normal size, and no dice. If it helps, maybe the fact that they don't mirror properly has something to do with it, but I don't know. PLZ HELPZZZ!!!!

@Dipper THANK YOU!!!! SSSOOOOOO MUCCCH!! You have no idea how frustrating this was!!!!!! I can't beleive I missed it, but I'll give you credit once I release the final :3
I was wondering why it happens until I saw this post, and I figured out the cause. The airfoil of the vertical fin should be "symmetric", not "flat bottom".
Because of this, the airplane keeps yawing right. Then air stream comes from left side of the airplane, so right fin goes up, left fin goes down. As a result, the airplane keeps rolling left.
@RMark1 Thanks! check out the completed mobile version link
I had the same problem when making my F-16 I wanted to make the fins thin and angled but every time it would not manuver properly and it would always roll. You will need to use wing for the fins, not structure parts. You can borrow my fins from my falcon and you will see the difference. Here's the link again to my falcon.

Try to increase the wing area, and reduce the degree of rotation of all-moving stabilizer
@RMark1 well, at first I thought it was just because I changed the scale and rotated it using xml modding. But then I tried it with regular wings and the dyhedral option, and the bug is still present????
An F-16 also has flyby wire to correct the rolling to the left that happens, without pilot imput.
@WeeBabySeamus @AndrewGarrison Any tips from the developers??
