don't have fins on the top

#

what reaction wheels are you using, and do you have SAS on

When you launch, is the nav ball completely blue?

#

If it’s half blue half orange or completely orange then that’s the issue

#

If not then it’s probably the fins at the top

#

What does the nav ball look like

#

Maybe try adding more fins at the bottom

#

Is it flipping mid flight or right at the start?

#

Once you’re past 100 m/s

#

Up until maybe 20 km

#

Try using symmetry for the fins

#

Take them off, press X and put them back on

#

X increases symmetry mode

#

Shift + X decreases

#

Also press C

#

For exact placement

#

I’d recommend looking at all the keyboard short cuts they’re super helpful

#

Yeah I doubt it’ll change much but it’ll look a bit cleaner

#

Idrk why the rocket isn’t stable it looks fine to me

#

Fair enough klueless

#

What angle are you flying at when it starts to tip

#

Are you doing gravity turn?

#

don't turn too hard after the initial turn btw (e.g don't force 45 degree turn), 50% rocket will flip in that case

#

👍

#

mind give your rocket to us to try?
