    No. I’m not on my computer right now. BTW it isn’t hard! You’ve just gotta undo the dihedral and then rotate it. @AngelAirCompany

    You’ve used heavily scaled wings and given them tons of dihedral. If you 1x scaled the wings, they’d be facing almost straight up. Make sure when you are scaling the thickness of the wings, don’t give them dihedral. Instead, rotate the wing.

    try throttling up in increments (first to 30, then 60, then 100) in addition to F104's advice

    @AngelAirCompany a couple of suggestions: the LG on the Corsair are a bit too small, and your prop is too big. Also since it's a taildragger, you can't gun it instantly and expect to take off, you gotta ease into the throttle on take off. If these don't work, try moving the CoM farther back

    Remove all the extra fuel, and .xml mod the fuselage blocks in the wings to 0.

    You COM is probably too close to the wheels. If the COM gets ahead of the wheels, the plane will nose over. Combined with your propeller (which is too large) you're probably face planting quite a bit.

    Lighten the weight of the nose or move the wheels forward.

    Shrink the prop a bit or lengthen the landing gear.

    It could be that your CoM is too far forward for your landing gear setup. Try moving the front LG forward (for trycicle style LG) or move the 2 front LGs forward also for taildraggers
