This thing I've been working on flies awefully, it has some kind of imbalance in weight but I can't seem to find it. I would greatly appreciate help from anyone who'd be able to fix it. I also have an enquiry to those who are mildly interested in the project, being: Should I try and make a solid cockpit out of fuselage blocks or just make the cockpit frame. Although just the cockpit frame might provide a good solution for a visible and well shaped cockpit I fear it might look a bit odd... Opinions and help both appreciated greatly.

    @rggaming1 A solid cockpit might work better for the 190, since it has a rather frameless rear section. Looks really good!

    @rggaming1 so I put about 750 dead weight on the last fuselage, and it seemed pretty smooth on take off.

    @AsunderHalt to be honest it's a bit of both, though the odd thing is in take-off it turns to the left, in flight it rolls to the right. Thanks for trying to help

    Hey, so I've been flying this for a few minutes and could you just clarify the problem, is it flying or taking off?

    Hi, I would love to help =) I personally think that a solid cockpit would look better but ultimately it's your decision, ill try and figure out this weight imbal.
