Canard Slat Experimental Research Aircraft

I created this aircraft to know canard's flight characteristic and how do slats affect flight performance.
This aircraft can do the Pugachev's Cobra without FBW or FBL.

How to do the Pugachev's Cobra
1. Full pitch down in a moment over 340mph to get the inertia
2. Full pitch up to do the Pugachev's Cobra
This can be done in an inverted flight, too.

Note, this aircraft's adverse yaw is terrible when it flying in High AoA.
So it may begin falling in a spin if you tried to make it roll only by ailerons while you make it pitch up.
You should use also rudders if you want to make it roll.
