I just noticed something, it appears as if some of my wings are generating negative lift. For instance it will say -5.28 kn on a wing. Is this important?

Game sometimes gets confused about up and down when you rotate stuff in the SPH,  don't worry about that so much.    IF you're in the ALT F12 menu bring up the Aero Data GUI and keep an eye on AoA.   When you're on the expensive juice (close cycle mode) you want a nice small positive number there so that your lift:drag ratio (also displayed in this box) is as good as possible.        Also worth looking at are thrust and drag.

Thanks so much! I'll use this to improve my piloting!

Was able to get to orbit with fuel to spare thanks to your video! Thanks so much for all the help! It's finally operational!
