BekfastDerp13 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 When I start out launching, the rocket is fine. Whenever I start the gravity turn, it flips! Can you help me solve this problem? There is a column of reaction wheels inside the rocket, slightly offset to the back (west direction, since this spacecraft faces east). I did that to keep the center of mass in the middle. This probably should be moved, I forgot to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The usual causes are too much drag at the front of the craft and/or not enough control authority. With the wing parts you have on that uppermost stage, I suspect it was drag and airflow. For the benefit of others, how did you solve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
