    @LjSpike the propellor on the top is there just to make it MORE controllable.

    @Kevpilot well, it's got flat bottomed back wings, symmetric front wings. I know adding a cradle would fix it, but would make it look very....abstract..

    Yeah, I'm gonna give u a clue here: you have to mess with the airfoils. If it keeps doing backflips give the front wings less lift or stablizers more lift. Do the opposite if it does front flips. Symmetric foil gets the least lift, semi-symmetrical gets some lift, and flat bottom gets the most. Hope this helps!!!!
