I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong with this. I'm sure it has something to do with my wings being inside of fuselage parts, though I have set those parts to be non-occlusive.

    @topfuel300 might need to take a couple engines away too or tinker them lighter.

    @topfuel300 it needs well balanced.
    I would drop all the fuel tanks to 30% and move that battery to the middle rear somewhere.

    @CloakPin Dumb question, but would it be possible to make something with its current weight flyable? Or does Juno not support planes that weigh what rockets weigh?

    I lightened it down to 48.8t. Pitch is still bad.

    Thanks for your help so far!

    @topfuel300 I didn’t notice the nose cone is all battery.
    Don’t need that much for a space jet.
    Hide a smaller one in the middle rear and make the nose come hydrolox or empty

    @topfuel300 actually that’s not gonna work.
    It needs lightened dramatically.
    Tinker it to freedom

    try putting an extremely powerful gyroscope or many RCS thrusters

    @SamTheFox Just for clarification, it should be able to take off. It overruns the runway easily, but it won't pitch up or turn. Even after its gone over the cliff into the air.

    It’s nose diving.
    Something tells me you’re too heavy in the front for this design.
    Most planes weight to lift ratio is closer than this one.
    Use the eye tab tool on the bottom.
    Highlight the weight and lift.
    Lift is blue. Weight is red.
    Add lots of weight to the rear to get it closer to the lift.
    Weight should usually be in front of lift but not as far as you have it.
    Slightly forward and below is most common.

    make sure the thrust to weight ratio (TWR) is above 1

    a TWR less than 1 will result in being not having enough thrust for liftoff
