    Ik all the center of stuff, like Col far back for stability behind the Com, or the Col in front of the Com for agility, but less stability.

    For one thing, you need to be more proactive when asking for help. If no one's looking at your posts, how many people are going to see your request? Post requests on the forum, or on a post by the user you want help from.

    Now, as for this airplane. The only things wrong with it are:

    • The landing gear is too far back. It needs to be just behind the center of mass (the red ball when CoM/CoL/CoT view is enabled -- press space bar)
    • The center of mass is too close to the center of lift. The Center of Lift needs to be some distance behind the Center of Mass.
    • The airplane tends to nose down. To fix this, make the canards flat bottom so they provide more lift.
    • The pitch controls are backwards. Because the pitch control surfaces are in front instead of in back, they need to be inverted. The airplane should pitch up when you pull back on the stick, and pitch down when you push it forwards.

    That's all.
