I've been designing a small SSTO that uses a gyroscope for stability in space and the upper parts of the atmosphere.

So far I'm mostly happy with the Roll and Pitch PID settings I've set, there is none for Yaw however. If I give any yaw input while the craft is in low atmosphere or vacuum it will continue in that direction without stopping. RCS has proven to be difficult to solve this problem with as again, I'm using the PID controls found in the flight info tab.

How can I manage this?

    @topfuel300 yeah the trial-and-error of PID tuning is indeed painful

    @Zenithspeed I've set my craft command pod to rocket like plane said, and adjusted the pilot orientation. That was 5 hours ago. I'm still trying to tune this PID, my craft won't stop spazzing out.

    With an SSTO use rocket autopilot config. planes use the other one.
