For some reason I don't know why this biplane won't fly. You can't even get it to take off. If someone could please give me a hand on fixing this greatly appreciated.

@Flash0of0green no problem.
Thank you for your help.@Xogo
@Flash0of0green I tried removing all the dead weight in the back and it flies. The wing design means it stalls a bit when you pitch hard, but it's otherwise fully functional.
I actually tried that and it automatically flew directly up and then crashed. I think there's another problem with it other than that.@Xogo
It's pretty simple: Your centre of lift and centre of mass are backwards. You want the centre of mass (The red opne) in fron of the centre of lift (The blue one), not the other way around.
