Thanks @ahappyape, you never fully appreciate the vertical stabilizer until you don't have one

Funny as hell to fly. If you want to keep the part count the same - put loads of dihedral onto the rear stabs so that it forms a "V" shape. Will act as a horizontal stab and won't impact pitch.

@lordofLego, slight may have been an understatement... but it can be controlled by constant tipping side to side. I was trying to keep the part count low as to be competitive in the challenge. Check out this other version that flies much better: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9ip99Q/The-flying-engine

I'm not convinced you fully understand what "slight" means.
