Fixed roll problems by adding real control surfaces to the wing. I also fixed steering on the ground.

    @99807 why not just add extra wings which were scaled down to 0.1? This way it can be hidden within the wing or fuselage and give more lift

    @Mustang51 The build-up ailerons did not generate enough force to get the plane to roll at an adequate speed, so I gave the wings that were hidden in the fuselage block wings actual control surfaces. This caused the weird double aileron affect that looks weird and is technically a design flaw (in my opinion). The only reason I even had the build-up wings was to get the correct thickness, as well as achieve a simulated airfoil which I can extend off the back from. That way I can add flaps and ailerons to the trailing edge.

    @99807 how come you used that method?

    @Mustang51 Thank you! The "double alerons" look a little weird but I have plans to hide it.
