the whole thing is an excuse to play with landing gear. vtol down to close the landing gear. it wants to roll during a hard pull up. thank the forward swept wings for that. it's easy to land but make sure the gear are already out at 150mph or so. if you wait till the last second to drop gear it will nose down hard. finally when flying the flap for the nose gear acts as a stuck canard. it won't go fast but at 35% throttle it still noses up from level flight at a few thousand feet. lots of fun.
