    Your aircraft will not take off with the landing gear so far back. The tail must be able to drop, or your wings will never achieve a high enough angle of attack. Try placing the rear gear right behind the center of mass, when the elevator pitches up, the tail will be able to drop a bit. Your other option is to place a lifting canard on the nose of the aircraft to help lift the nose and present the wing's leading edge to the wind. Place an inveted elevator somewhere forward of the center of mass, but be careful not to move the center of lift too far forward. Let me know if you want me to fix it.

    The COT can be anywhere, however, the COM must be forward of the COL or the aircraft will flip.

    Your center of thrust should be forward a lot more next to your lift
