This plane is supposed to be a jet-bomber. Right now, it is almost done. I have one problem: it never balances correctly aerodynamically. The bombs shift the COM when dropped so I cant balance it. Can anyone help?

    @SpacePlanePilot - no problem - i ran into that same problem with the wing mounted fuel tanks, throwing off the COM as they drained

    Ok, I’ll try that. Thank you!
    And yeah, it has 6 small bombs on the wings and a large one in the bomb bay.

    if you remove the bombs, and adjust the planes flying to how you want it to perform first, then add the bomb payload even with the COM - it wont throw off the balance when they are dropped

    if its a large bomb or added fuel tank - it helps to build it as a subassembly, so you can find its COM also. add a interstage(or any part that you can remove later) on the bombs COM, save the subassembly, then load it onto the main plane, and attach it so the COM of the plane and payload are lined up.
