FAR X-1 Problems

[Grimm Spector]

Hey everyone, I'm not great at spaceplanes, but with FAR I'm beyond bad. I'm trying to build an X-1 and get the early spaceplane contracts done, but I am having no luck. My CoM is slightly ahead of my CoL, but no matter what I do I either get a plane that will take off on it's own at a certain speed but only briefly, I assume wing stall, and drop back onto the runway, or it won't take off at all. Occassionally, I get it torquing at just the right place to blow my engine up by slamming it into the tarmac...

 

Help would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

I think the FAR players will need a picture or two in order to diagnose this.

Here's the image, and the FAR report.
