Happy St. Patty's Day!
Here's the first major update to my vectored thrust experiment (in a St. Patty's Day color scheme to avoid the pinches). I've designed this specifically for it's aerodynamic performance, and I'm proud to say it's a lot of fun! Let me know what you think!
***IMPORTANT: Until you get a hang for how it handles, I recommend you take her up to 10,000' or so to give you time to figure it out.***
Below 300 knots: Activate 3 for fun thrust-vectored maneuverability. Enter and recover from upright and inverted spins, somersaults, the infamous "cobra" maneuver and more. Try a stylish takeoff, just remember: once you start a rotation with a control input, you have to stop it with an opposite control input afterwards!
Neutralize controls and deactivate 3 to fly like a normal airplane.
