Landing gear glued to runway?

[Thalamask]

Hi folks

I'm got an early-career save that I'm working on, and I'd like to do some of the "survey Kerbin" type contracts with a plane. Unfortunately, whenever I load a plane from the SPH, it seems like it's glued to the runway. I spool up the engines to max power and the plane just rocks back 'n forth. I can get SOME movement if I yaw left and right, but when I stop I usually end up rolling BACKwards! I've only got the Tier 1 runway - is that the problem? I've also tried cycling the brakes etc. Help?

For reference, my plane is pretty similar to this:

Can you provide a screenshot of your plane on the runway? Without a picture it's hard to identify what issue you are experiencing. Sometimes your plane can spawn with your wheels clipped into the runway. If you don't have enough thrust the slope on the tier 1 runway might be big enough to cause you to roll backwards. And honestly, I recommend not using the tier 1 runway because with the 1.1 update, the non-retractable wheel are so fragile that the bumps on the runway can cause them to break.

I'd get the VesselMover mod and move your plane off the runway then try.

Here's a screenie of my plane:

I upgraded to the Tier 2 runway, and I also tried putting it on the grass. Nothing helped. I couldn't get more than 7 m/s out of the thing even at max throttle. What am I doing wrong?
