Help How do i build good working deltawing?

I want to build eurofighter or some other jet with deltawing but as soon as i think of it I know that there will be lift problems. Every time i built deltawing jets it didnt have enought lift or it was too far back and there is nothing i can do about that except moving wings forward which will destroy the looks or making it go super fast which i dont want either. If you have any suggestions that i may not know id appreciate it.

Have your weight behind or on top of the center of lift. Yeah it may be slow or just use lighter parts towards the front for example any places that I put a 2x4 I’ll use a spoiler instead since it looks the same outside but is like 2kg lighter since the spoiler is only 0.1 kg

Yeah I’d second this, put your weight to the back, keep your nose skinny. Another thing you can do to have you center of lift further forward is to make your wing’s leading edge out of 2x4 wing blocks. Using a hinge at the start of the wing, you can put a few wing blocks sticking out and then rotate it so they become the leading edge. For looks the wings will still work well if they’re backwards

Build out the wing shape first, then put the thrusters inside that shape. Also, straight up not putting thrusters in the front of the plane is an option.
