right on! it does slip sideways like a mad cow :lol:
it has no gimbal... the "ruddering" is done by opening the "airbrakerons" on one side at a time... like a b2 bomber
it's particularly unstable a design, but it takes off a lot of drag without protruding fins off the back, and it looks so very cool!
also, for controlling pitch balance (asides the surface trim), there is -will be- a fuel-transfer system that shifts the CG as needed... like the one used in the Concorde
no rudder means unstable like jello nailed to a wall... when i get a bit further along with it, i'll add a Stability-Augmentation-System, like that on A10 jets... it's not exactly fly-by-wire, but it helps keep it pointing "forwards"
and uh... i don't see any image... is it just me?
