    @DogeZ True, balance is always a trial and error kind of thing, may ways to balance them. Best is to start off with the COM always forward of the middle of the plane and at least 2 blocks forward of the COL, with that, most planes can be then balanced "perfectly" with various methods, i.e. adding forward wings with varying symmetry to provide lift :)

    Thanks). I think my planes often functions good, but the design isn't really good. But my planes isn't really hard to make, the hardest thing is to make them balance perfectly. @hypnotoad

    Still represents you developing and playing with surface structures. often you will never know how effective a control surface will be until you make it and attached it and play with its overall shape, hard to predict at times, so stars for keeping on using on getting to the best design / functionality =)
