  1. WestAir's post in [FAR]Why my plane has to be like this to fly? was marked as the answer   
    In reality, most airliners have the center of pressure behind the center of gravity which provides a nose-down pitch. To counter that, the horizontal stabilizers in the back have an upside-down cross-section, compared to the main wings, which provide a down-force that helps counter-act said nose-down pitch.
    I'm not sure you can flip wings upside-down in KSP to replicate this, but you can change the angle of attack of the horizontal stab to encourage down-force. (Angle the leading edge downwards. This will increase the lift of the side facing Kerbin and act as a counter-balance.)
