Finally made something to rival GuyFolk's supermaneuverable aircraft! This took me a very long time to make, so I hope you enjoy! Next variant will have its own guns, I promise!

Nice.
I'll be waiting.
You nailed feature after feature and I think eventually you'll be better than me.
@GuyFolk aight, that'll be my main task for the next variant, along with a machine gun to complement it.
@SkyJayTheFirst
Yes.
More like only stall when absolutely no way to prevent it.
A good system will do something Randy "Laz" Gordon said.
@GuyFolk so you're saying it should more likely stall due to lack of airspeed rather than high aoa?
@SkyJayTheFirst
Too bad F-14 don't have tvc, if it does the remaining engine can correct for yaw by angling outward, the plane won't be spinning easily but it'll fly with some side slip and that can be recreated with any of my plane.
But I guess that's your doctrine, I just don't like that particular tradeoff.
And by stall prevention, I really mean the plane will stall where it shouldn't have to, when pulling hard at not so low speed.
For clarification, I'm not talking PSM mode because in PSM mode we want and we tell the plane to stall.
Stall can occur by exceeded critical aoa or low air speed, your plane stall at high aoa whereas it could be prevented by FT.
In my book, the plane should stall only at low speed where wings can't produce enough lift to keep up and/or not enough force from both control surfaces and tvc to make it.
@GuyFolk I designed the engines a certain way so that, if one's taken out, the pilot can still rely on the other without easily spinning out of control, like the F-14 Tomcat, for example, or Me-262. However, what exactly do you mean by preventing stalling?
@SkyJayTheFirst
Certainly, yes I can, I just flip the plane by pitch instead of yaw.
I think more engine separation would increase tvc roll authority as well.
I guess you have a solid idea how to PSM and now it's time to dig in more about angle of attack and how to prevent stalling.
Looks amazing
@GuyFolk I'm really happy you like it so far! I'll do whatever it takes to improve it as time goes on with the next variants. Also, just wondering. You able to do that backward bridge fly-through stunt with this?
Rival?
Pff...
I'd be your student if this plane come out just a year sooner lol.
Seriously, this fly surprisingly smooth for how simple the FT code is.
Also slow maneuver help in smoothness a lot as well.
And for non PSM flight, there are a lot to be improve as well.
