    One thing you could try to counteract the prop torque is: make the angle of incidence slightly positive on one primary wing and negative on the other. Not the best solution because even if you dial it in to where it flies perfectly level at full throttle, then it will auto-roll at 0 throttle. Another thing you could try is: set the trim input on the ailerons to [on], so that you can adjust aileron trim to counteract prop torque on the fly. But then you will have to change the piston input (throttle) from Trim to VTOL, and change the prop pitch input from VTOL to Throttle. You wouldn’t be able to use the negative pitch on the prop, but that shouldn’t matter, because you can still run the engine in either direction. Slight loss of functionality, but I think it’s your best bet in terms of a quick fix. The ideal solution would be to have two engines with counter-rotating props. You’d have to redesign the plane from the ground up... but also you could put the two engines in tandem like this, and make the two props coaxial, which should still work with the engine you’re using, just might be a bit tricky.

    Looks cool man, good luck! :)

    I figured it out. Now I just need to counteract the torque of the motor.

    add a tail gear and change the prop's wings airfoil to flat bottom

    Probably like halfway or 2/3 the way. However the aircraft won’t budge when I do that.
