looks like a beaut, flies like a brick...

my Ligeti Stratos rebuild is looking really nice, but I cant get it to fly how it should (and sometimes at all).
The general idea here- (link here to original)

I don't really want to post pictures of it yet but if it really helps I can.

it seems to be somewhat related to where the drag acts on the body.
with the wing pieces placed inside the wing like the original the handling and take off speeds are good, but the nose constantly tries to pitch down- although it shows no signs of loosing control (slipping, unresponsiveness etc).

I've tried to counteract it with angled wings, changed CL,CM, even moving the CT but i just cant seem to get it going properly.

i cant get pictures and more infomation if reqired

so basically I'm here for suggestions, ideas, info and the like

lets get this thing flying!

    well, I think I got it pretty good using some Funky trees for the elevators to add the right amount of pitch as different speeds

    The numbers: -Pitch+(.5*30/(IAS/.7))+.05

    Ill try to get it out released this weekend!

    and yes, "T"
