Looks very nice just like your Jumpjet.

good work so far. this has some good potential. does it have an engine to take off or does it rely on taking it off of a cliff or something like that?

Wow this is progressing very quickly, It's looking great!

Are you going to keep the cheating tail because that is just...cheating? IMO it would be better as a true hang-glider instead of a small plane.

Off the top of my head I would say to rig up a "driver" or weight of some sort that you move using hydros that are controlled through aileron/elevator inputs. No need for rudder as they don't have rudders in real life. Then you would have to balance the weight of the vehicle well so that it stays as flat as possible and possibly add an auto-center feature to it to help control it(although not necessary).

It's possible. It only takes a lot more fine tuning.

It's good so far, although just using the engine to start it makes it tip over onto the front. I think that after you finish this, you should modify it into an ultralight:

Also, why did you change the keys to bank it from the left and right arrow keys to Z and X?

because the hydros up down also move if you push left or right and thats not really realistic
