I was trying to recreate the convair F-102, when i noticed in a test flight, that the things that happen to this plane while it is beeing flown, don‘t make any sense to me. So if you know anything about physiks and aerodynamics you can download the plane, try to take of with it and please help me understand whith a comment, why the physiks in simple planes let this be a thing. Note: the plane is not finnished and I will finish it.

    Even though this plane can fly, I can Still not understand how the SimplePlanes physics manages to work its mysterious ways. My knowledge of physics, as everyone else’s is limited, so what I am about to say might be wrong, but out of my understanding and my idea of common sense, it does not make any sense that if the back ailerons are oriented in a way that deflects the air, that is streaming underneath the wing, downwards, It should not have effekt, that the planes nose rises, but that it’s tail rises as a counter reaction of the air beeing pushed down by the back end and thereby making the nose sink in reference to the tail. This happens with this plane for a short period of time, wich should have the cause, that the now over the top of the wing flowing air should push the plane down, but to my astonishment the plane rises. And I just don’t understand why. So either I have no clue what I am talking about, or the SimplePlanes physiks are exploitable. If I am wrong, please explain to me how this actually works and help me learn.
