    @GoldGamer19 if you're finding trouble, you can take a look at one of my recent builds and check how it works out if that helps in any way

    You might want to remove the elevator on the wing and increase the angle for pitch on the canard rotators
    As for the roll, make it thin and long along the length of the whole wing

    Hey man, the plane looks great! You said you want some help with maneuverability? I don’t mind helping you out. I’ll download the plane and see if I can tweak it and I’ll tell you what I did to fix it. Swept wings are weird but not impossible.
