So I decided there was plenty of Eurofighters and the game shipped with a Saab Grippen I decided to make a Rafale, I know it's been done before probably better than this but hey this is my take. As with most of my creations I kept it simple, I attempted to use XML hacked intakes but it was still giving me a warning about the intakes so I bolted some intakes on the bottom to test it. Problem is, It's rather unstable and I tried to redistribute weight without avail...So If you think you can fix both the intake problem and the ballance issues please try and re-upload! I've been tinkering with it all day without any luck...Thanks guys/gals!

That's weird my XML processing is messed up
@GrOuNdZeRo fixed yet? also i love that you put EAF roundels XD
@danman12 Thanks I think I got it squared away now... But Feel free to upload the fix!
@GrOuNdZeRo and to let you know I just posted the airplane so she k it out and give your feedback
I not sure if anyone has fixed your plane but I balanced the plane out and it flies like a dream/ but I'm not sure if I'll get in trouble posting the aircraft without changing much about the aircraft because just recently I got one of my aircraft removed because I just changed the landing gear and the paint
@Ninja1235678 Thanks brother, I'm pretty new at the SimplePlanes style of physics, KSP was somewhat more straight forward but I could never produce what I really wanted...I'll try to stack some wings.
I think the problem with your balancing issue is that your wing loading is too high for your current CoM/CoL setup.
You gotta put more wings(try stacking some structural wings on top), or just move your CoM forward, but your plane will be less maneuverable
