nice try... but the prop balance or the angle of the motor mount may occur this problem... still a successful plane my friend...

If the nose insists on dropping during flight, and especially during take off, try trimming the control surfaces slightly. Give them a positive angle (tilt slightly upward) and that may help to counter the larger battery. The next thing to look at is the prop and motor combo. I AM NO EXPERT in this area but I have built a fantastic wing that I have the opposite problem with. I put a 2600Kv motor on it and to be honest it frightens the hell out of me. I need to have much better throttle control as it is far too fast for someone with my limited experience! I think the near perfect mix of motor/prop may be something like a 2200Kv or slightly less & a 6x4 prop..???
Good luck with your endeavors I thought the art work was quite neat and the size sounds like fun.
Can I also recommend you look up YouTube for a writer "Schaut5" he seems to have a really good handle on flying wings. I learnt almost everything I know from his videos.Good luck!
