This is my first attempt at making a hydrofoil boat. A hydrofoil works in the same way as an airfoil- it raises the boat out of the water to reduce drag. On this boat, this concept works for a few seconds but then the boat violebtly pitches down and flips over. If anyone has any idea why this is pls comment and feel free to improve it and send me the link. Thanks!

I’ve been tempering with the gyroscope, that does help a bit.. what I did was put the range of pitch at 0 and just used the normall pitch and trim, only problem then was the steering because it would go from left to right and vise versa and eventually nose dive into the water... I’m not an expert with hydrofoil boats so I hope this could help you.
