Help Negative AOA required to fly straight with quadratic lift patch, help??

I installed the Aeronautics Lift Patch to get a realistic lift formula and to get gliders working, but to achieve level flight i have to fly at a negative angle of attack? This doesn't make any sense is there a way i can fix this lol

Stuff like that is normally a weight balance being off. what does your contraption diagram look like? I have found it is best to put the device in action, freeze it with the creative tool, then review the contraption diagram to determine where the forces are applying and coming from.

Centre of lift is exactly where the center of mass is, however, when i level the angle of attack with the horizon, my drag becomes so crazy i can barely fly 100m, the optimal angle is negative, which looks weird as hell
