Nonfunctional Drone

Noses up very badly upon takeoff, and if you nose up too far in an air spawn. Also loses all control on nosing down. Can someone fix this?

    @SilverTheDogfighter Your plane doesn't have much stability in pitch. You can fix this by either increasing the distance between your primary wing and elevators, increasing the size of your tail wings, or both

    @jamesPLANESii Okay, added 1000 pounds of dead weight to the front. Fixed pitching up, but still loses control on nosing down.

    @jamesPLANESii Thanks! I'll try that, and let you know if it works!

    Looks like it doesn't fly because the centre of mass is behind the centre of lift. Try adding weight to the nose until it flies

    If possible, try to fix it without gyroscope, but if it's needed that's fine. I'd really like to see this concept work!
