Helicopter not working (firespitter mod)

[Dragonwarp]

I have this helicopter that I'm making with firespitter, and it keeps on flipping out whenever I launch. Any tips? FYI: My center on lift is on top of my center of mass.

Is your center of thrust in line with your CoM? If not that'll be creating a lot of torque. Unless you have more than a couple stubby wings, CoL shouldn't matter much. If you do have wings, for a heli it should be above and maybe a bit behind the CoM.

That definitely helped, but it still flips out, just slower, and I can't really control it.

Hm. How is it flipping? Forward, backward, sideways? If it's sideways, you might have a symmetry problem. Forwards or backwards, center of thrust is still off most likely. Also, do you have a tail rotor?

 Yes, I have a tail rotor,and it starts flipping sideways, then backwards AND sideways at the same time.

Is everything perfectly symmetrical? Also, it's flipping, not just spinning, right? If everything is symmetrical I'm not sure I can help any further. Maybe a screen of the craft with the CoM/CoL/CoT markers on

Yep. It's flipping, not just spinning.and I'm 90% sure that everything is where it should be (I think. . .).
