    With a test fuselage-rebuild test I got it to perform uncontrolled loops. First, correct the center section wing since there are 2 overlayed (hidden) panels attached. Good luck- it will perform better, maybe, with only half the engines there now!

    I found that it's not so much to do with the placement of the wings but the placement of the engines. The plane goes up when at full speed and inverted so that should say something about the engines placed higher than the others

    @ramjet it's a really good plane. It lagged my phone and caused me to crash......but it was a nice crash
