Some people may think that this should have been posted in aerodynamics forum but the truth is this I dont want any mathematics or theories. I need practical info from you.

Mike I read all of your articles on horizon.When designing a 3D aircraft what do u think are key elements which will prevent it from rolling or snaping out in hi-alpha manoeuvres.
I don`t have access to 3D planes like Funtana 90 or your hanger 9 cap in my country.

and how much wing loading, control throws and static thrust contribute? Also is it necessary to have a YS engine to hover close to ground (not with profile planes) like you do in TOC.

thanks
