Xflr5 stability analysis usually is not accurate. You could make a generic 6dof model and add aerodynamic and inertia data into it.

small unmanned aircraft theory and practice is a good book for that.

Did you do any aerodynamic analysis …?

Hello builders

This online free tool lets you design and build complex wings with ribs and spars. No CAD skills needed!

You can export PDf, DXF or STL for cutting by hand, using cnc/laser or 3D print.
