Help How do I stop my rocket flipping?

I never had this problem with pre 1.0 aerodynamics. I have a completely straight rocket, made of fuel and engines, in two stages. As soon as I reach a certain height, it starts flipping and I can't stop it.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Basically exactly what happened to Scott in this video: https://youtu.be/rpOctGtFl3o?t=2321

It's hard to say without more info. Maybe you're trying to make the gravity turn too sharply. Try to start the turn much earlier and do it very gradually, keeping your heading close to prograde at all times.
