Hi takata,
What we are talking about is that the aircraft seems to have done, so far, nothing wrong by itself.
I agree it seems to have performed as designed.

One has to wonder at the wisdom of starting with an aircraft concept which is naturally longitudinally speed stable, and design ALT LAW handling characteristics which allow the aircraft to be flown (with UAS), to stalling Alpha and beyond in a trimmed condition.
