Default Cougar kf jumping help

Hi all. I am having a bit of trouble getting my kf over the jumps at my local track. It always lifts its front end in the air to the point where the car is pretty much vertical in the air. I know I can blip the throttle and correct it but it's quite extreme and I would like to dial it out if I could. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Blipping the throttle will lift the nose higher

Try and raise the rear ride height slightly or add weight to the front

Are you running a full wing gurney - if so trim it 5mm at a time and see if it improves.

Adey try just nip the brake, or go neutral as you take off, my TRF jumps like a beast this way, always landing flat or just a tad nose in, its about the only thing i can do quite well, jumping lol!

Are you running the kit spur? Where are you racing?

Indoor on carpet. Kit spur with a 26t pinion. The track has a reasonable straight but it tight on the infield.
