Really obnoxious problem

Does this go into a flat spin on the ground for anyone else? Or is this just my copy of SP being stupid? (As it does from time to time). Or is this a known low physics problem? Please help.

    @LordofLego As @jheffernan rightfully said the flaps are invited on all the pitch controls. When I ran this down the runway it did do as you described but my results may be skewed as I'm using better which has additional friction on the wheels. Your biggest problem is that the CoT is way higher than your CoM. This is a common problem with all aircrafts that have engines above the wings and fuselage of the plane and is usually corrected with angling the engines and/or correctional trims. I would suggest as a fix, making the fuselage a little logger so the rear tail and main wigs are further apart, raise the CoM is possible, lower the engines a bit, and semi-symmetrical on the main and rear wings might give you more lift.

    @jheffernan I posted the problem on the forum and Authros told me it could be because there's too much weight on the nose gear.
