    Then during flight, there is a huge force pushing the plane forward and since the CoT (Center of Thrust) is high, and there are no wings, the imbalances reverse. The front becomes heavy because there is no lift and also there is insufficient thrust to keep the nose up.

    The large engines take longer to produce enough thrust to lift off while the VTOL nozzles are quick and more responsive. So what you have is an heavy back end and a light front.
