S3D : the devil's triangle

The Devil's Triangle

Question #1
As you may see in the images above, I found a strange thing with the movement of the pyramid.
When I pressed UP or DOWN, the pyramid followed the plane direction.
What should be changed in the code ?
Question #2
The initial value of
plane.y      = 0
pyramid.y  = 6
But why are the plane and the pyramid in the same horizontal line at the beginning of the game ?

Code:

You need to push and pop the transformation when drawing the plane, else the pyramid's position will be relative to the plane's position and rotations.

Code:

    ' Move everything 10 units into the screen. This can be seen as setting the camera position,
    ' and it should affect all other drawing, so no push or pop.   
    S3D_Translate(0, 0, 10)

    ' Add push and pop around the code to draw the plane, else the position and rotation will
    ' affect objects drawn afterwards.   
    S3D_Push()
    S3D_Translate(plane.x, plane.y, plane.z)
    S3D_RotateX(rad(plane.rotate))
    S3D_Mesh(plane.model, 0) 
    S3D_Pop()

I added a translate into the screen before drawing the plane and the pyramid so that I could see what the pyramid was up to.
