True neutral stability. CoM, CoL, CoT are almost perfectly on top of each other. Can depart from normal flight in up and down pitch. AG1 is arresting hook. AG2 is parachute for spin recovery. In a flat spin, the aircraft is very stable, due to loading. Recovery easy with VTOL at 45 degrees forward and counter yaw. Aim for a nose down position so the earths gravity helps your flight.
