Vectored Thrust Fighter
An original design inspired by the last generation of jet fighter. Very fast, very stable. Will do 800+ at full throttle, and will stay in the air down to 5% or roughly 180mph. Reached 1000+ in a dive and nothing's fallen off yet.
NOTE: If you just pin the throttle at 100% and leave it there, you'll never see how versatile this plane can be. Try 25%, 50%, and 75% throttle. It likes to cruise around 400-500mph.
Control surfaces are specifically designed for controller (or mobile) input, so the handing on a computer may seem 'twitchy.'
Experiment with thrust vectoring using the VTOL slider, but be gentle. Watch your airspeed carefully, if you drop below about 300 or 400 (depending on throttle) you'll tumble. If you end up flipping end-over-end out of control, back the throttle off to around 10% and use the VTOL slider to aim the nose down, and regain control.
Will do a very nice Pugachev's Cobra at 20% throttle with thrust vectoring.
STOL capable! Move the slider up a notch or two and keep the throttle under 10% for a very slow landing. Minimum airspeed I've achieved is 130. With careful application of the VTOL slider, can take off before the end of the USS tiny.
