Pity they took the engine out of it.

Do some calcs on getting the C of G somewhere back to where it was with ballast in the engine bay.

I am guessing the only hard point to sling it from would be the wing attach points and obviously that will be near the normal C of G. The wing beam is pretty sturdy.

Control lock will probably keep it trimmed slightly nose down and as it has no wings should fly pretty stable as it still has the tail feathers?

Heres one with the wings still on it - albeit slung by an experienced guy and a decent long line.

Slowly slowly catchee monkey.
