Think of it. Full yaw, pitch and roll with no controls!  Think canard without multiple wings and roll by body English. Pitch and yaw by "stick" pressure.lol Seriously, there have been several projects where the broomstick was used as a model, then a prototype, for aircraft. Jet prop of course. Drones are RCs broomsticks with small wings. First flights in a Long EZ felt like a broomstick. Then the builder slapped on a new nose and a larger engine and never mentioned it to me. The COG changed dramatically and as soon as I pushed down the runway, I knew this was going to be a different experience. -- The fans rightly adore me ! https://twitter.com/TomFelton
