Weird Aileron Problem

[Slew]

I have a space plane body with four stack nodes:

• 
  [li]Top, for nosecone[/li]
  [li]Left & Right, for wings[/li]
  [li]Bottom, for fuel tank[/li]
  

If I attach anything taller than a certain height (~0.5m) to the bottom node, the ailerons on the wings will turn in the wrong direction. It\'s not just a visual bug; the plane actually has reversed controls!

What on Kerbin is happening?

It\'s just how the game works. The position of the part controls how the winglet actually works. (canards vs a rudder, for example)

Thanks, Nova.

Sure enough, as the CoG of the plane changes (fuel being used up), the ailerons start going in the right direction.
