Can someone who is really experienced with making helicopters please help me with this? I want the controls to be stable, for instance when I yaw, it immediatly returns to it's original position when I let go of the joystick. If you can make the controls more stable, that'd be great! I'll even credit you in the final version when I post it.

Bro, I’ll have to say the yaw of this plane is beyond unable to control @AWESOMENESS360
So the issue is, there aren’t enough wing area for the vertical stabilizer, compare to horizontal stabilizer and primary wings. Those are put on both sides, therefore giving more wing area for those controls, but in the case of vertical one. Only 1 is used, so what you can do is make an exact same vertical stabilizer and nudge it into the same spot, but I don’t recommend this method, because it might just end up rolling itself rather than yawing. Another method is to have no control surface on the vertical stabilizer at the back and make an ugly looking stabilizer that has lots of wing area and can be hidden inside the fuselages and make sure that this vertical stabilizer is placed not too low or too high, because that’s what cause planes (and helicopters) to roll rather than yaw, also make sure that it’s not placed somewhere in front of the center of the plane. I don’t know how this works, but it messes up the stability and will probably spin your helicopter like a fidget spinner @ACEPILOT109 @AWESOMENESS360
This is what I always think
RIP = Rest In Peace
WIP = Work in Peace
Lol, but I do know that it’s work in progress @AWESOMENESS360
Huh, not sure, but I hope you find the issue! :) @AWESOMENESS360
I may be able to install a different gyro module...
@ACEPILOT109 it doesn't re-align itself after you try to yaw? I need it to be able to yaw, and stay in it's current position after yawing, instead of turning back to the original position.
I’m on high also @AWESOMENESS360
@ACEPILOT109 What physics setting are you using? I was testing it on High Physics.
@MailboxIsMyGender Yep
Weird, I’m having no issues?
I’ll look
@Carbonfox1 yep, I don't think anyone has ever posted one on SimplePlanes before, so I thought, why not be the first? :)
@mikoyanster
You makin the X-wing compound helicopter?
