    I was testing the aerodynamics of the bastion and I found 2 nodes creating an insane amount of lift. Seems like it was caused by line 2095-2097 in bastion_body.jbeam:
    ["f5", "f12rr", "f1r", {"liftCoef":150, "stallAngle":1}],
    ["f5", "f1r", "f1l", {"liftCoef":150, "stallAngle":1}],
    ["f5", "f1l", "f12ll", {"liftCoef":150, "stallAngle":1}],
    Changing liftCoef to 15 fixes it. But I am not sure why it was in 150? Can someone please tell me its purpose? Or is it a bug?

    It's not a bug, it is used to balance the aero of the body shell which has huge net downforce in the front, due to all the inclined faces
