    I tried fixing it but sadly, It is too big for me to upload on my Kindle. I'll tell you what I did.
    I moved the CoM forward by removing a bunch of fuel from the rear blocks. That stuff weighs a ton. As soon as I got the CoM a bit in front of the CoL, (about 2 blocks) I mirrored the plane. This was tricky because one cockpit was off to the side. You need to adjust the mirroring to mirror exactly down the center of the airplane.
    That's what I did. You can try these things to see if you can get it flying. Great plane and sweet engines!

    Or at least later the wings so that they can connect to the fuselage at different points and for better strength and stability@womeowem @FighterCrafter14

    Maybe try to make the plane a bit smaller... It seems to be too big to be controllable the wings make them too unpredictable@FighterCrafter14

    Also, the center of lift was a bit off center from the middle of the length of the aircraft. Make sure to have evenly mirrored parts so the plane won't veer off in flight.

    The center of lift is too far in front of the center of mass
