Huh, weird. Moving the rear landing gear forward so it's closer to the CoM should help with that
@Skua I had trouble getting it to take off with semi sym stabilisers, it just doesn't want to rotate.
@Skua. Thanks, I'll try that. I've really struggled to get planes to fly level, so that's a good tip.
Nice work, it looks great. Changing the stabilisers to semi-symmetric helps it fly level too
