Flys well and the feathering wings work with VTOL controls. They can be used as elevators but do actually work as a free-fall stabiliser. Fly to over 40,000 feet and cut the engine - deploy the feather upwards and you will fall in a stable configuration. The feathered wing can be levelled again to resume normal flight.

@JG6000 ok right :)
You can but not for long as it forces the nose up. It’s really just to stabilise it in free-fall and it works perfectly. @asteroidbook345
