As of 900d4c850c6a84a91a0f1df7f96b5919a3024aaa the aircraft's longitudinal modes respond as expected - Lateral modes have not been observed yet. The simulation is (for the time being) a 3DOF simulation (pitch, vertical and horizontal translation).

Aircraft can be longitudinally trimmed as of fb4c356e226c068c85347609d62faa32b019b87e. Lateral states are bound incorrectly; aileron rolls result in permanently negative values of phi. Need to investigate more.

As of a8069c2043dffb47fa6866a80ae8760428cda335, simulation responds to lateral doublet inputs with expected results in dutch roll and in roll subsidence. Angle bounding bugs still present though; will open a new issue regarding those.
