hi hello what's up anyways i've been trying and struggling lately to try and make a spaceplane. they look real cool and all and I really want one to work but all my STS-style spaceplanes always fall forwards and backwards and when I do somehow balance out the weight after hours at a time, it's a pain in the ass to steer the thing in a good and straight trajectory.

help me pls and give me tips if possible

    Ah, I understand. you are having problems with the center of mass pulling the craft down.
    A tip: angle the engines towards the wing-side of the shuttle to counteract the imbalance of forces. maybe 8-15 degrees should allow the gimble to actuate.

    @thepilotman stability issues. Balancing shuttles to make sure the shuttle and external tank won’t pull each other to the ground. It’s a pain in the ass to control them too.

    Are you talking stability issues or out-of-atmosphere controls.

    Space planes in my opinion are very hard to make without tinkering I recommend doing research about them.
