CoL display is off when the craft is levelled...

[LordFjord]

..., however, it is where it belongs when I rotate it a bit (up/down).

It took me a bit to figure out as I built it levelled and attempted to balance it - but then it could not even take off. Then I changed stuff, moved more control surfaces to the front and it flew perfectly fine.

No biggie but maybe someone can give an answer.

I gonna post that bird soon, it's quite a powerhorse, fun to fly and has nice range (~4k dV from LKO).

edit: current cargo there were 2 scansat ion sats, one each in the bay on top/bottom.

If you were flying with FAR, I'd say maybe the stacked wings are the key - when they're on top of each other, the lift is reduced, when you tilt them so more of each wing has nothing above/below it, the lift increases; specifically at the back where they overlap.

With stock aero, no idea...

It's all stock and I never seen this issue before, not even with a spaceplane I made not long ago that is built very very similar.

Here's the stock craft file without payload: dropbox
