Warning: this flies horribly. It does work, though. I wanted to test out whether or not a plane could be controlled entirely by one large control surface - in this case, by moving the rear wing in two axes. There are no ordinary control surfaces on it at all, just that moving wing.
It does suffer from a peculiar lack of lift (maybe something to do with the wings being rotated), roll stability is awful, and it... is not a great fan of turning. But it does work! It was a lot of fun to build.
