Just thinking about the headline as I haven’t read the article yet.....reflecting on the ten cent balsa wood planes of yore (wonder how much they’d cost today?). They flew with no moving parts (unless one thinks of the horizontal stabilizers, and, or wings flying off, spinning to the ground when the assembled toy plane was tossed).

They flew, but they also crashed as parts flew off of them most of the time unless one took the step to glue them.

OK. Time to read the article.

“ unless one took the step to glue them.”

And that would sometimes screw up the CG.
