second try at a delta wing. The controls are wonky, pitch is slow, it seems off. I need guidance in delta wing construction! If you are good at making delta wing designs please try this and tell me where i have gone wrong/astray! Thank you!

@LOSTechOrdnance I got inspired by this and I will release a complete plane as a sucessor to this. Feel free to upvote that ;)
@kikasshes after i left my comment i totally went off and toyed with my design i changed the wing layout a bit removed the rear elevators and tried those cool little rotators but you know what i didnt do, i didnt rotate the rotator lol. that edit you did made it SO stable and smooth compared to my edit last night - how can i give you a vote up for awesomeness??
@LOSTechOrdnance I missed to write some information. The last comment has been edited accordingly and I have an example of the result here.
@kikasshes i tried those it does seem to pitch better with the all moving canards, i totaly didnt know about the small rotators, very handy they will be. Do you know what i am doing wrong the cause the elevators on the back to "nose down" yet still generate a nose up effect? If im flying any of my regular wings + tailplane designs and the elevators do what they do here, my plane dives. has me totally stumped. If im using canards do i even need rear elevators?
How to make it fly well:
1. Move the CoM further back. (Do this by shifting fuel, not dead weight)
2. Instead of using control surfaces on the canards, use small rotators set to 10° to rotate the whole canard. Also delete the elevators on the main wings.
3. Change all airfoils to "symmetric".
