I just made an airplane which is all self designed. I am more into designing than in flying so I literally know nothing about piloting the thing.
The aircraft has not flown yet mainly because it is supposed to generate suffice lift at about 40kph windspeed which I have not managed mainly due to the poor control I have and thin take off road. The throttle cannot be increased quickly as it is much above CG and the downforce producing tail is needed to balance the torque.
I have seen airplanes getting off without any significant runway, so can it be a CG problem that I am facing(like nose heavy). I have not yet tried hand launches as I am not sure what to expect and my basic flying skills will surely end things to a crash.
please help.
