Tricycle landing gear (P-38 style) helps. But assuming you're making a tail dragger, there are a few things to remember
1) Keep the cener of mass (red ball) behind the front wheels, the further back, the less it will flip.
2) Don't set the landing gear traction very high. This will let the plane slide a bit more when you hit the brakes and keep the plane from tipping forward.
3)Make sure your tail is the right size. People tend to think small tails are "cool." I don't know why. If your tail is too small you won't have good stability or control at low speeds (like when you're landing).
I recommend against lowering the center of mass, because that will mess with how your plane handles in the air. You can try shortenting the landing gear, but then you have to shorten the prop blades, its a mess.

As for that, playing around with the CoM and CoL should solve it. also, we may suggest add Trim or Flaps
and low center of mass helps too.
place landing gear far forward as possible and brake gently
