    Off the ground it feels like it has potential, but as soon as I get any airspeed it tends to develop nasty instabilities. I think the big V style tail might be contributing to the problem, as it causes a rolling moment any time there is side slip. I'd probably try to increase the yaw stability with a different tail design, and try to increase the lift produced by the "wings". Maybe even add a separate wing that just provides lift at forward speed (might be difficult to fit though!). I'd love to see it be able to do a props forward airplane style takeoff, which I think would be a good goal for improving the performance. Not bad looking either, I agree it does look like a future transport :). Now to make it fly like one!
