Interesting concept Asian1, it obviously needs some refinement though as I should imagine the drag penalty would be horrendous.  I would also imagine that the gyroscopic effect of a large rotational mass along the transverse axis of the plane would aid stability too, provided the torque forces were balanced properly.
