Can I not add wings at all in the VAB?

Simple test..

Plane style cockpit, behind that a normal FL-T800 fuel tank.

Attach wings to the side - all pointing at the sky of course since I want it on the front of a rocket.

The wings simply will not point their lift 'up'.

If i rotate the wings, the lift appears to be forwards along the wing instead, other rotations there is no lift at all.

I tried editor extensions, but the wings wont fit properly at all then, and still create lift in a funny direction.

So the only way be to make part in the SPH and then transfer to the VAB? Although wouldn't the lift direction get messed up anyway when I transferred it?

Very Confused really.

The lift is calculated in-flight the same way no matter how you attached the part. The lift vector in the VAB has never quite made sense to me.

Wow it's that simple eh?

Just tested a v small aircraft and it flew really well first try.
