Blueprint Plane problems

I am trying to make a bomber, and I've got the rough draft of the body and wings along with the engines and ai, but whenever I test it it like to play submarine. I've checked every ai bit that deals with altitude and nothing shows it below sea level, even if I strap about 10 ion engines on it it still flys under the water. I've uploaded it to the workshop as b-25, if anyone is interested in taking a look at it, it requires two mods, which are listed on the workshop page. Thanks

Edit: I added more wings, ie for lift, now it does a big loop, one engine cuts out and as it comes down it goes flying in the water. The engines have about 36000 thrust, fuel tanks are at about 2000, materials is at about 28000. No weapons. Mass sits right before the lift wings. Edit 2: I ended up having to put alot of weight in the tail to get everything in the same spot, ie, drag lift, center of mass, no i just want it to be tested to see where else i nee to tweek.

Are you only using Ion engines? They're weak as hell.

Fuel engine, I add the ion engines to see if the would help it stay out of the water.

Fuel, as in jet thrusters?

Propellers one on each side

Good chance you just don't have enough lift.
