It might... it just might.

But, to help avoid that, I changed my mind about the vertical stabilizers. They have a 135 degree bend in them in the Goblin, and I wanted to carry that into the Goony. But, I also wanted to have the VStabs slope forward like an interceptor.

After I assembled it, I didn't like the look. It also looked like it didn't add much to the stability.

So, I cut them off carefully. I drew up some similar VStabs with a rearward slope, also with the 135 degree bend. Just to help them look like an interceptor VStab, I also included that pokey thing.

I like this look much better. Rocksim says it moves the Cp backwards by just under a half inch, while moving the Cg hardly at all. I think it also fits the look of the Goblin better.
