Pteranodon (unfinished)

This is an unfinished project which I'm publishing because I don't find the time to finish it. Feel free to publish your own enhanced version as along as you follow the guidelines in the included license.txt file.

My idea was to make a flying dinosaur. The current ACF file resembles the actual shape, size and weight of a Pteranodon, the most famous species of these flying animals, which were probably not reptiles, but a more advanced family (their bodies were covered with fur).

The problem is that I wasn't able to get this thing to fly in a stable manner, neither as a glider (which would
be most realistic) nor with an engine, not even with artificial stability (which seems to help though). Any
hints how a stable flight could be accomplished without changing the appearance is appreciated.
