@Sharandeep981 Sort of. CoM being forward of CoL makes it aerodynamcally stable in a forward position. If your wings are tipped downward, they generate lift towards the ground. If you could show me a photo of the plane on the runway (preferably from the side), I can help you figure out what's going on.
A common problem I encounter when making a plane is that the front is tipped downward, so the wings act as spoilers instead of generating lift. What I'm trying to say here is: Always make sure your wings aren't actually generating downforce!
Try checking if the plane is angled downward on the ground. I found while working on the Resilient (https://www.simplerockets.com/c/KEnY8l/Resilient-Mk-2) that if the wings are lower in front than in back, they act as spoilers instead of wings.

5.1 years ago@ThePilotDude Increasing the length of the front gear should fix it in any case.
5.1 years ago@ThePilotDude Sure, link?
