Oh, that's right. The wings stay level and only the pods rotate. Yeah, in that case a major sized flap and drooping ailerons would be a big help. But remember that the ailerons should come up to level again quicker than the flaps to avoid adverse yaw during the transition.

20 lbs and only 510 sq inches? I'll bet it was touchy. And I can only wonder at what it would be like in even high speed flight. Of course the big fans pushing air over the top of the wings would help I suppose. Sort of like a flat version of that tunnel prop plane.
