A brick will fly if it has enough thrust.

According to a guppy pilot I had the pleasure of dining with one evening
"like it looks, I tell people I fly an airplane with the pointy end on
the BACK". He further went on to talk about how all power settings are
called out and applied by the right seat pilot as the left seat pilot
MUST keep BOTH hands on the controls at all time to keep the thing under
control.
