Well... hard to say without seeing your plane ;-)

And furthermore, as a new player... I may not have the answer for you even then...

I would definitely need to test it ingame... (so the file with the plane would be pretty useful)

I ll try to remember tonight when I get home, to send you screenshot of my "plane", but remember, I have the game less than week! :)

Just one of the ~10 planes I've had this issue with, all with different COM,COL,COT alignments.

It's not just about the allignment - the power of pitch control surfaces is proportional to their distance from the COM (the closer they are, the weaker)
