Hi crash bandicoute
I wish you could use normal punctuation so I can follow your post easier. Ballooning at take off can be caused by having the front gear a little short (assuming it is a tricycle gear plane). The main wing will have negative incidence which generates a down force keeping your plane from taking off, until you overpower that with your up elevator at which point your plane will balloon up.
