Ground Interface?

Interesting concept.
To fly, you are going to need some angle of attack, aren't you?
How does it rotate with all those wheels in ground contact including some well behind the C.G.?
Likewise, how do you land it?

You might need a variable incidence wing like the F-8 Crusader had. Either that or a whole lot of trailing edge flap and no leading edge slats.
