    @MentallyDistorted I see. I went ahead and looked into it … looks like I fixed it. I removed the left main wing (the actual airfoil - not the cosmetic one) and mirrored the right one to take its place. Reversed the flap on the new left - et voila! No more auto-roll :-) Here you go, in case you wanna update your XML: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/lv87nd/Lockheed-EC-121-Warning-Star-auto-roll-fixed

    So it was simply a glitch. Not your fault at all!

    Cheers

    Beautiful and rare! Though I have to ask: is anyone else experiencing rather heavy auto-roll to the left?

    High wingload makes this plane heavy to control.Can you add the wing area?
