After a significant amount of time tinkering with the new powerplant for the F-20D, I present the F-20D IV. While mostly similar to the D III in appearance, the weight balance and powerplant have been completely reworked, allowing for y-axis canard assisted thrust vectoring. Able to effectively "hover" and remain controllable at very low speeds. Future variants will likely include two or three axis vectoring capability.
Recommended normal and vectoring thrust is 0-40%.
