During testing of the new G overload failure of the Hornets wings I encountered some scenarios in which both wings would fail at the roots. Out of curiosity I decided to test the flight dynamics without wings and was very surprised to see how well the plane flew. While I understand the body is able to create lift it seems that even at lower speeds the aircraft is still very controllable. Details can be see much better in the attached track. While not very scientific and without any hard data my hypothesis is that this is not modeled as intended.

Attached is the mission, track, and tacview (for those who are curious).
