As sugested by @PlanesOfOld this is my first biplane its kindof heavy so go easy on the controls recomended for the eperienced pilot.The de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide was a 1930s British short-haul biplane airliner for 6 - 8 passengers. It proved an economical and durable craft, despite its relatively primitive plywood construction.from wikipedia

    @Cedy117 have you tried changing the elevators to flat bottom that would stop the pitch when you remove fuel

    @Nightraider the fuel Balances the plane so it would have a harsh nose up

    @Cedy117 could I suggest that you remove fuel cause it weighs a lot and it allready has great range so less fuel wouldn't be a problem
