    @ahappyape yes mate, why the he'll didn't I think of that, and went to the trouble of building a new one? My stupidity often staggers me to be honest

    @ZFM99 I always like your style dude. Sadly I age been engaged with the family all day. Gotta keep em happy. Should be working on thibgs for you to test either tonight or tomorrow night. That's often the only time I get to dedicate to this kind of thing. In fact. I already have a challenge for you. ... look through my planes, and find a yellow one called lightning bolt. If you can fly that well I would love to see the video. As for the explosion, I can't be sure. It didn't look the the dreaded vibrations that happen sometimes. Maby my design was a bit too wacky.

    @hypnotoad easiest way to test is add wings on detachers to out existing speed planes?

    @ahappyape thanks again Sir. I was surprised too, too some balancing having all of that loft up front, Hense the reason it stalls. So far as the test goes, I understand that detachers can be used to keep non structural wings attached at high speed. So, if you were to use those modded engines to push this past 2000mph, where they would normally rip off, the idea is they stay on. I still used structural wings at the front just because I wanted to work up to that point, this is just a step towards this, but it's looking good. hopefully we can begin to produce really maneuverable aircraft at silly speeds without having to compromise pitch and roll at low speeds utilising this method and we could potentially utilise normal primary wings with normal control surfaces, rather than having to group them at to the back to maintain integrity.

    @ahappyape good morning chap. thank you kindly for the rating and feedback, i'll have a play around with it some more see if I can get rid of thr stall issue. I was surprised how much it can cope with to be honest, not sure if it's a consequence some how of the desig.

    @ZFM99 mate your videos rule! Can't believe you recovered that other flat spin in the yellow plane, very nice. Yea I stalled this a few times. It seems to do so too easily. I initially cut the control surface size back a lot which helped, but wanted to leave it over controllable vs under controllable, i love the ability to flick it round and up, and not quite know if I will be able to make it. Yet again buddy your rating and feedback are close to godliness.

    HO-LEE-SHIZ. never known such pitch. And it looks god dam amazing. So so pretty. Its stalling because the COM and COL are on top of each other. Move the Col a touch back and your golden
