Elevators are weird

So the elevators when pulled to the maximum it’ll like make the tail section slide at times? It wont pull smoothly like what you would expect and again I am so sorry for wasting your time if it cant be fixed then thats alright (I left your wing there just in case this fails)

    @TheMouse it’s fine trust me also thanks for the info and the tip I’ll ensure those are integrated to the plane my friend :3

    Hey, sorry this took me so long, I have been so busy...
    Anyway, I looked through it.
    I don't really see the problem. It is a bit unstable at some points, but I don't really have any problems flying it. I did not expostsnce any sliding.
    The one thing you can do, based on what it sounds like you are experiencing, is to lower the range on the rotators for the rear stabilizers.
    That could help if the problem only occurs when you pull it to the max, this should help, because the max will be impossible to pull to. (You won't be able to get as high)
    The only thing I really noticed that could be improved is that it stalls a bit earlier than you might want, but I don't know what exactly you want.
    If you want the stall speed to be a bit lower, go to each wing, in the overload, wing section.
    Add a variable called "liftScale" and set it to anywhere between 1.5-10, (in your case, I would recommend around 2) to add a bit more lift.
    Just make sure you do it all symmetrically otherwise it will mess up your flight model.
    Hope this helps, tell me if you need anything else.

    @TheMouse thanks again X3 I’ll make sure to put you as the co-creator for working on this 👍

    @Wolfy26
    Oh, that makes more sense. Working on it as soon as I can.

    @TheMouse the elevators forces the plane to slip vertically not sideways… also the ailerons aren’t quite as effective as I would like them to be without changing the AOA of them 😭

    I will take a look when I can. I suspect it has to do with the elevators trying to push the plane to change pitch faster than the plane is capable of doing, but sliding sideways is odd.
