Think of it. Full yaw, pitch and roll with no controls!

Think canard without multiple wings and roll by body English. Pitch

Seriously, there have been several projects where the broomstick was
used as a model, then a prototype, for aircraft. Jet prop of course.
Drones are RCs broomsticks with small wings.

First flights in a Long EZ felt like a broomstick. Then the builder
slapped on a new nose and a larger engine and never mentioned it to
me. The COG changed dramatically and as soon as I pushed down the
runway, I knew this was going to be a different experience.

I thought it was at least bad manners to alter kit build and design?
