First craft in five months. Oops. Lizarddragon had gotten me thinking about rotators (novel uses there of.) So, what do we have.
I call it a 'Beach Comber'. Designed to clear the beach of those pesky defenders, before taking a beach head.
Start under 20%, it pitches easily, beware. I should have made the hulls longer, or given it a tail. = )
If you change the guns, be aware that the fuel tanks are on the underside of the guns. It won't go far without gas.
CONTROLS
Pitch = Gun pod / cockpit elevation. Elevates to 70 degrees.
Roll = Rudder (awful boring if you can't turn.)
Lateral aiming is done by turning.
Guns = Either weapon group, then press fire guns.

Hey mars, hope your doing okay bud it's been awhile since I've heard from ya or really anything about simple planes,miss ya, much love
Thank You, for the vote, @Reddley
@Reddley
This could be made to fly, but it is a watercraft.
.
Look at the fins on the bottom. They are much longer wings, scaled to be stubby. The same could be done on the horizontal plane, but you would have to shift the CoT, and balance the wing locations.
Its neat but I can't get it to fly without it going into a spin
@ProvingMars Oh, is it prone to toppling over on its face?
.
I only just read the description, and it seems you hinted to it there...
@Peekofwar Adding a tail would make it more stable. Feel free to do as you wish.
From a side-profile, it does kind o' resemble a dinosaur, posture wise, missing its tail.
Thank You, @JonhHarvest
