Working on building a VC-10. It does have a bit of a COG issue but I'm slowly trying to work that out with a lot of trial and error. If anyone can work it out, be my guest.

@CClarke94 Cant really say I fixed the issue as I started with a different aircraft, but I did make a VC10 replica with no COG issues here https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Le2Uou/VC10

Don't have so many fuel tanks. Put most of your fuel in your wings.

I can try it, however can you look and see my RE-155. This plane is huge. It look like the real vickers.
