My design team in college made a RC plane based off this design. Lateral control was terrible.
Fun fact: the props spin in opposite directions. This forces the propeller vortices under the lifting body, creating an artificial bubble of lift. In our plane, it was an additional 2 pounds of lift for a 16-pound aircraft!
