    I built another version and improved the tail. Hopefully that fixes the problem

    It's a fun plane, and about as stable as they come, when the wings are deployed. I tried to make it spin and couldn't. The only risk was during TOs and landings.
    You know, if you made the tail a little shorter, set it up in a cross , and rotated the tail section 45 degrees in X-mode, it would be stable all the time. But that's justa thought.

    I don't believe it will -when the wings are open.The angle of the wings will have them act like vertical stabilizers.

    you probably should have a vertical stabilizer. will flat spin constantly other wise.
