@Dynimerous Np! It does look awesome.
@SteadfastContracting Haha thanks man
@JShay thanks so much!
@NumNumz oh ok that makes sense. thanks for the explanation!
I deleted some vertical wings that were at the front, so now it flies straight... You can try it here
It doesn't fly beacuse you have too many forward facing ailerons/wings, and not enough backwards facing ones to compensate. Too explain better, forward facing wings are inherently aerodyanically unstable, but they are better at cutting through air then backwards facing wings(so less resistance). In real life, planes with only forward facing wings use very advanced flight computers to keep the plane flying straight, but you can also stabilize the plane by adding enough backwards facing wings to counter the aerodynamic imbalance of forwards facing wings.
Man... This is cool, but it's a little out of my league.
