Well doneThe Raven Flies! (Should be safe for kids. I checked for adult language & edited it out)

That flies great man.. 👍☺️...
Well done
Could it be that your landing gear is to far forward?? If the rotational point of the landing gear is to far forward, then that could cause your problem... The landing gear should just about always be a little in front of the Cg for taildgraggers.👍Yep! Still not entirely sure why I can't get a plane off the ground. I guess there's a lot of wind sheer around that barn. I'll just have to hand launch my planes for the time being.

Sounds goodMore than one aircraft is involved, so no. Like I said, it's most likely turbulence around that barn. What I MAY do, is try the driveway & see if that's any better. But for now, hand launching assures a flight with minimal damage.

Well. Without the electronics in it, there is more foam weight behind the centre of gravity. Making it tail heavy. When you add the electronics in, it should cancel out the weight behind the CG, or be a little nose heavy. But never tail heavy... As that plane will only fly onceCan someone explain why foamboard aircraft are naturally tail heavy? Josh has said this numerous times, but never said WHY it happens......

This is a Seesaw issue.I understand the concept. But the rudder & elevator are 2 grams, and just ONE of my lower wings is 5 grams! So again, how can the plane be tail heavy, when all the data says it shouldn't be?
in a plane 2/3 of the craft weight is about 2x as for behind the CG as the front 1/3 of the craft. If you notice, as Motors have become lighter, (from the 20s to the 40s) the nose/ motor placements of the planes have gotten further in front of the Wing Spar.
It is one of the Reasons, the Remington Brunelli -2 model is hard to nearly impossible balance without ballast. those early engines were heavy! (relatively)
