Managed to get it working without changing the appearance at all! Changes made:

- Main wing profile changed to symmetric, stabiliser profile changed to semi-symmetric. This creates a pitching force that balances out the engines.

- All pitch and roll surfaces reduced in size. It's still not *very* stable, so this reduces problems.

- An extra set of wings was hidden inside the fuselage to take some of the load off of the main wings and reduce the anhedral effect and reduce the rather high wing loading. If you don't know how to do this, just ask in the forum post, it didn't require any xml editing or anything.
