I would have assumed that a shorter, or more conventional wheelbase would be more stable, but still unstable.

The extra length makes it look like a dragster.

The reason for a dragster's length is the torque and counter moment arm of the length to balance it, right?

Do these two designs (Delta Wing and Dragster) have anything in common?
