I'm experimenting the concept of thrust vectoring for conventional and delta winged jets. The good candidate was the Pigpen (JAS-39 Gripon). The performance was very successful and can carry out intense maneuvers. With this concept accomplished, I'm on a project to use this principal on the SU-30. Hope you enjoy. Try to hover the plane as long as you can and touch the ground.

Great idea. Here I am still messing with thrust nozzles and this is way better. I love making Aircraft you can throw around the sky and slide around.
This is just a pikpen
This is awesome. The jet moves.
