Re, "Would some dehidral configuration of the main wing have a better outcome? "
Would that come with slightly increased drag?
And given that, I wonder how "critical" or unstable the design is in order to perform its layered tasks? I haven't flown anything but commercial transports and would never (ordinarily) see such motion but I certainly agree with you regarding the rock 'n roll and aborting the flight.
janrein, thanks for the interpretations - makes sense that "venting" oxidizer from anywhere but the rear wouldnt' be done.
If the controls aren't frozen, the RCS would be very busy and perhaps that's why it remains within certain limits? It's a lot of gyrating and given the air density, without knowing but only guessing, would be difficult for a pilot to control using conventional controls.
