Wierd Wing
It's all about the wing.
The wing is kind of radical.
Someone posted an aircraft, I think it was called the 'wave wing' or something, which reminded me of a model plane my younger brother and I built, back when we had access to fireworks, as in sky rockets.
We built it, stuck a sky rocket in the back and let it rip.
It headed skyward like it was never gonna come down, but it did, once the power ran out it nose dived, pulled out and then sort of almost stalled all the way down.
This flies pretty much like that plane did. Too much power and it just wants to go up, but because of the engines, it will run out speed and stall or try to.
Once the nose drops and it can pick up speed again, it repeats the process.
It is possible to put it into a dive, but it will recover if you leave it alone and it has enough height.
Have a play, experiment and see what you can get it to do.

Does a couple of odd things this plane.
Cut the power right back while it is climbing and it will do what it did while the power was on, but in reverse.
It will drop the nose until it picks up speed, then raise it again, rinse and repeat until it get to ground/sea level.
Not a spectacular flier, probably thanks to the strange wing, but I don't think it is possible to stall this by accident, I reckon you might have to force it into a real stall.
Also, that flat black color on the wings helps hide how ugly the wing surface is. :P
