If anyone can fix this, I'd be very pleased, and I'll rate a couple of your planes. I've been tinkering with this rascal for some time now, and fixed all the problems except- as soon as one tries to roll, it goes into a difficult to correct spiral. I've rebuilt it three times, and all the wings are symmetrical across the axis, the control surfaces are balanced, etc. Can't stop the spiralling anyhow. Input needed!

390 Enigmelody@ZFM99 I know, and it has dorsal stabilizers, but no yaw control points. The rudder is there, but the way this loses control seems more like an unbalanced semi-symmetric wing or elevator. Like when you mirror and it keeps an old wing, making an extra wing inside the new mirrored one. But in this case, the CoL is centered. That's all I want fixed with this. Flies perfectly well until you roll, then it's pretty much out.9.5 years ago

1,702 ZFM99@Enigmelody rudder on a plane is like feathers on an arrow, it keeps it flying straight.9.5 years ago

390 Enigmelody@ZFM99 I'll try that again mate. Didn't try a ton with rudder. I mainly don't know why it doesn't fly straight on its own.9.5 years ago

1,702 ZFM99@Enigmelody maybe try a bigger rudder, that should keep it flying straight. also add yaw so it can recover from a spin.9.5 years ago

1,702 ZFM99I will look at it, I can probably diagnose the problem but not fix it. I will call on my good friend @Hypnotoad to do that9.5 years ago
