The aircraft shown here rolls to the right without input. All surfaces are mirrored perfectly, with the exception of the 'break symmetry' tool to invert a couple of flight surfaces so they operate in the correct sense. All wing surfaces are set to 'semi symmetrical with the exception of the vertical stabiliser, which is set to 'symmetrical'. Engine gymbal is disabled, and CoL is aft of CoM. Launches fine and controls perform in the correct sense, but above about 50 m/s the rolling tendency makes this aircraft uncontrollable, and I cannot figure out why?

Switching wings from semi-symmetric to symmetric makes the plane flyable. Must be an issue with the game incorrectly guessing which direction to apply lift on a semi-symmetric wing. We'll look into it. Thanks for the bug report.

@Javiatrix The command pod/chip is used to orient control surface and wing airfoils (among other things). The command chip on this craft is oriented with "forward" facing in the "wrong" direction. It would need to look like this to function properly. I'll be adding a gizmo in a future update which makes the "pilot orientation" more clear.
