    @MobileFriendly That does complicate things. Did you use the overload and fine tuner mods? I use them all of the time, so I can have a stronger wing with control surfaces still being present. I did that on my new-ish C-119 cargo planes (I think I last made one almost a year ago but I always make sure my planes have great flight characteristics before I upload them, starting over from scratch if needed). I want to try to make a Boeing B-29 and a Boeing B-50 sometime (the main difference between the B-29 and the B-50 is that the B-50 has a taller tail fin and 1.5 times as much horsepower per engine (the B-29's engines have 200o horsepower each where the B-50's engines have 3800 horsepower each.) I may also try to make the Spruce Goose and see if I can make it fly properly.

    @LightMindedJedi yes, the bank angle are not controlled because the wings are so wide and i'm using gyroscope, but not working :(

    @MobileFriendly It does fly but to keep it level, I have to keep alternating ailerons. Any idea what might be causing it to bank back and forth constantly without any control input? even a bunch of gyros made no difference.

    The only thing I see that is different from the real plane is the number of blades on each propeller. the read one had 4 blades per propeller, while this has 3. at least that can be changed easily. I will try this out to see how it flies.
