Nice. I theeeeenk it's gonna be stable, although that long boat tail makes me shiver a bit. Looks like a ton of fin area, so I suspect you will be good.

First, my mind sim says "Holy crap! Why the heck are you asking me?!"

Then it says, "Yeah, more likely stable than not, but it'll be a weird flight, lots of conning or spinning or both or something." The small fins to one side are, well, small; they don't extend much into the air stream, which is what gives me some doubt. If the two large fins were closer together, i.e. further from coplanar, I'd feel better. But you have no reason to care how I feel about it.

Definitely a cool look!
 
The fins are a bit forward considering where the motor weight will be. And extend far forward so will cause some destabilization.

Will need to see where the CG is when done..... May need some nose weight.

But does look really cool!
 
Can't get a video up.
Keeps saying to large a file.
Anywhoo..I got it held together enough to do a swing test.
C6-3, recovery loaded, no nose weight.
Flew nice every try.
