@StallFlight i see, thanks for the tip !
Here's a tip:
Make sure the rear landing gear is not too far back. I needs to be right behind the CoM. If it's too far back it'll be very hard to rotate when taking off since it's not allowing the rear of the aircraft to go down (so your nose won't get up). Eventually you will gain enough speed and lift to rotate, but it's just more convenient to place it right behind the CoM.
