This SSTO doesn't seem to be able to get of the runway. No matter what I do it doesn't take off. This is the 3rd design that I have tried, the previous ones worked and I think I will go back to those, but the Areospike Engine won't fire. Fix and send it as a sucessor please.

@JMan112 no problem, mate! just remember, rear landing gear should be a pivot point, it should be placed in a way that allows the airplane to rotate over it, but alas, have a jolly good day.

@MarioG I checked that during the initial build, but forgot to check it again after the methanox tank was switched with the cargo bay into its current position.

your rear landing gear is too close to the back of the plane, put them slightly behind the center of mass and it should be enough, also, make the wheel struts taller if you can.

if it wont take off check to make sure the Center of lift is slightly behind the Center of mass.
@JMan112 also, i did a fixed version of this, i am not sure it can reach orbit, but i did my best to make it fly, here's the link: https://www.simplerockets.com/c/4jfZd0/that-guys-SSTO
