The problem was wrong placement of the CoM and the CoL (CoL must be just a little bit behind the CoM

@Memri this is very helpful, thank you
@Memri so i studied a bit and heres my answer:
So, because the ailerons are at the very back of the main wing, they dont act like a normal horizontal stabilizer.
When the ailerons pull down, instead giving the back of the plane more lift, they give it to the front part of the wing, ik its confusing.
When instead the ailerons pull up, they give more lift to the very back of the plane, which pulls the nose up.
@shoshiner the plane does this because the wings get more lift, and as the wings are placed in this way, it manages to lift the whole thing
Even though this plane can fly, I can Still not understand how the SimplePlanes physics manages to work its mysterious ways. My knowledge of physics, as everyone else’s is limited, so what I am about to say might be wrong, but out of my understanding and my idea of common sense, it does not make any sense that if the back ailerons are oriented in a way that deflects the air, that is streaming underneath the wing, downwards, It should not have effekt, that the planes nose rises, but that it’s tail rises as a counter reaction of the air beeing pushed down by the back end and thereby making the nose sink in reference to the tail. This happens with this plane for a short period of time, wich should have the cause, that the now over the top of the wing flowing air should push the plane down, but to my astonishment the plane rises. And I just don’t understand why. So either I have no clue what I am talking about, or the SimplePlanes physiks are exploitable. If I am wrong, please explain to me how this actually works and help me learn.
