Auto Credit Based on LordofLego's Please Help

Well, it's here. My secret project, the P-61. It is nowhere close to as good as I had hoped, but it looks okay. It is still extremely nose-heavy. You WILL need to pay attention to the pitch as it is flying. It does not level off. Credit to A5mod3us for fixing the runway tipback problem. If anyone can fixe the pitch problem, that would be great. I will be building a bigger version to make up for this one.

    The pitch problem might be cuz of all the weight in the frontal fuselage region. When he fixed the tip-back problem, he probably put some dead weight to have it rest on all of its LGs.
