I am working on an airplane but it goes really wobbly at around 390m/s

I've checked COM COL & COT, fine on that front.
What's the actual problem??

    @ChinmayShukla make larger control surfaces or adjust their angle and drag.
    Maybe centre of balance could play a part as well.
    Too much weight maybe? Cut your fuel in half or 1/3 even to see if it improves.
    Do this to all fuel tanks so you keep balance

    Just a hint,
    Many jets pitch fastest with either full break or full throttle.
    I like to break as I roll into the turn and then crack full throttle after I pitch to create the turn.

    @CloakPin the wobble problem is solved, the wing was tinkered to reduce the size, it's stable after replacing it with the normal wing.
    But I have a new problem tho,
    It's not agile, very slow rolling and pitching. How can I improve its agility??

    @CloakPin that's true but sometimes it just goes crazy even at 300 and goes straight above 600-700

    390 is awfully close to mach 1.
    I wonder if this crafts shape doesnt like super sonic.
    Looks cool though. Ill try it tomorrow

    @Zenithspeed Doesn't seem to work, tried both increasing and decreasing. Still wobbly
    And God knows why, it goes straight from around 300 to 600 m/s when it starts wobbling, so unstable

    ah, wing wobble
    this is a fixable issue, though i don't know the exact steps, if i remember correctly you gotta increase or decrease the mass and/or drag of the wing (the actual functional one, not the cover)
