Why does my plane bob up and down when pitching?

711 Mysweetbologna  4.6 years ago

The plane is maneuverable, the COM and COL are close, but when pitching, the plane bobs up and down and it’s annoying. Any help?

    Decreasing the wing load also helps. Add more wing area or reduce the mass of your plane

    You probably have too much elevator deflection or your elevators are too big. Try making them smaller or decreasing the deflection.

    The wings might be the problem....
    It must be too long that it flaps up and down
    To compensate this compose the wings with structural ones and the last bit should be primary wings for the roll
    If that's not the problem then I don't really know....
