    That being said....
    1) move the outer two of your five cannons forward until you can see the 'base', that's the bigger back part of the cannon. Apparently That's where SimplePlanes thinks the shells are coming from. If you bury the base completely in the fuselage, the plane will blow itself up
    2) replace the back landing gear with a short retractable one. In order for the airplane to rise you have to be able to push the tail down. With four wheels of equal length, you literally have to pivot on your back wheels before you can gain any height.

    @Trainz448 I must be getting deja vu experiences. I swear that just last weekend I downloaded a plane with exactly the same wing arrangement and the same engine pods

    Did you reupload this one? I think I saw something almost exactly like that a week ago
