AV8TOR you are right. When I was taking the picture I had a couple of weights near the tail to keep the nose up. I have already took off (cut and pushed and pulled and so on) the front firewall and is going to make it shorter by at least 1". Fuselage already has a couple of cutouts for the servos in the very back close to the tail.
Will work on it tomorrow. They used some kind of a white glue (I am not sure if this is a hot glue or not) to glue the airframe. It is not very strong. I am glad I took out the firewall. They had used balsa for the triangle stock between firewall and fuselage sides as well.
As far as ground clearance, I am going to put taller gear and bigger wheels. Big props are expensive!
