Experimental wing design

If you are wondering what this is, it's basically a pod on a free-spinning rotator with a plane. In english, the cockpit stays level as the wings don't.

    @megaapplepiee it makes the plane super hard to control. I made one like that way back and I found that I needed to replace the roll control with classic wings.

    @DanAviation There cannot be anything excessive that effects weight distribution, which would effect the way the pod is rotated.

    Could you make it so that the rotator rolls the wings and you wont need control sufaces for roll?
