Auto Credit Based on ramjet's flying wing (wip) nose heavy

A fix for ramjet's flying wing. Was initially nose heavy, so I moved the centre of lift back (sounds counter intuitive, but it can work) added an extra structural wing and changed the wing aerofoil shapes. if you want it to pitch upward at slower speeds, change the centre wing (structural) to flat aerofoil, that should generate more lift. However, the aircraft is easy to land, even without an undercarriage and can achieve level flight at 50% throttle at 10,000 + ft. Obviously, I haven't added an undercarriage, as I wasn't sure if you had a particular setup in mind for that.
