Wow...0-60 in negative 3.6 seconds! I just about burned the landing gear off going down the first 50 feet of runway! She's a hot one, but pretty easy to fly. Nice! 😄
I'm not positively sure, either. I'd just roll with it (pardon the pun) and have fun with it! It's most likely because of the offset of the center of lift when the wing is skewed like that. Keep making those planes, though! 😄
Really good stuff, and not that difficult to control with the wing roatated. I did see that if the slider was brought all the way up or down, the wing assembly hits the part of the fuselage where it gently rises up to the cockpit canopy, causing one half of the wing to change its angle of attack. That looks like where it really becomes unstable. Just prior to that point, though, it's pretty stable with some aileron input...and really fast! Hope this helps, and safe flying! 😁👍
Thanks @goboygo1. It was a previous design of mine that just required some tweaking for the enlarged bomb design (my original already had a slightly smaller bomb). You could also use it for launching a drone, large cruise missile, or someing like the X-15 rocket plane. 😊
Happy Chanukkah @Dynimerous! I was tinkering with the concept of a functional Dreidel earlier today, but crafting the Hebrew letters is proving pretty difficult! lol 😄
Thanks for the input @BobaFett1108! I've been doing some more flying and testing on it and made some tweeks; I've posted an improved version. I agree that she's a temperamental little fireball!
This is gorgeous, and it flies so tight and effortlessly, too! And I love the clever arangement of the engine and thrust nozzles.
I decided to do a modification on this...I figure why only one wing when NASA could try two! I'll post it shortly. @Squageheimer
Very maneuverable little thing! I love how tight it can turn and how easy it flies.
A well thought-out and FUN design!

Thanks everyone! Gotta embrace the weird! 😋

Interesting concept for roll control. Good stuff!

Hammertime... 😄
Ha! FedEx and UPS better take notice! Nicely done. 😄

Nice smooth flyer, and I love that engine!!!
Gorgeous, detailed, and classy! She flies wonderfully! 😄
Brilliant aircraft! 😃
Brilliantly made! Definitely putting a star on this one.
