Tilting on ignition

As Soon As I Start My Engines it immediately goes up a foot and tilts towards the ground and I crash I wasn’t in mid air either just a little above the launch pad.

Can Anyone Tell Me How To Fix This?

None of your links work, they don't appear to be public.

 

But if you CoM and CoT are lined up, which I'm guessing they are since you appear to be proving a picture with them displayed, then my first guess would be that your "Control from here" point is upside down, and you're launching with prograde on for SAS.

Either that or there's an insane amount of drag at the top pulling the top of the ship down.

See the link in my signature on how to directly imbed your pictures.

In addition to the above.  There is a bug that I don't know how to trigger yet where in if you have two engines for your first stage (Actually any stage but for your case the first one in particular) and use a thrust limiter in the VAB, sometimes it only sets the thrust on one engine.  This can cause asymmetric thrust at launch.

Just another possibility.

Thx I’ll try to fix the photo links and if I can get them to work think you guys can take another look at it?

Of course. Ksp players are the most helpful ones in any community.

Are you building a space shuttle or a rocket?

And use symmetry. Use R to toggle between mirror and the other one.

I’m building a shuttle for a lab space station and have it orbit kerbin

Yeah, shuttles are hard.  The first ones I built could have won somersault competitions.

If you're still having issues with the pictures, try uploading them somewhere else, like Imgur, which won't have any funky permissions issues.  Google Docs wasn't really meant to be an image hosting site.
