A plane that I cooked up in the weekends. I've been intending to make an aerobatic aircraft for a while. It flies well, but pitching up too hard at speeds of under 130mph makes it do stall spins. (Low physics level.) It's top speed is 220mph, so it shouldn't bother you too much. I'd also give 5 upvotes to anyone who knows what causes it!
Also, this is the only plane in the universe that flies better upside down than the right way up! (Scary!) I think it is the drag from the landing gear.
Enjoy!

    Yea, I already know that. Also I don't want to change my wings ti semi symmetric because stunt planes have symmetric ones. Thanks anyway. @Insertname

    And changing the wings to flat bottom also helps.

    Basically, if your CoM lines are lower than your CoT, it will pitch down. (Usually)

    The effect of stalling with be lessened and also it will help with the nose down pitching. The pitching is because of where your CoM is vs. your CoT vertically
