Sky Slicer Mk. I

8.8 years ago
One of my slower and less manueverable jets (for some reason even though it has wing and thrust vectoring) but it looks cool, and has enough fuel to fly FOREVER.
*EDIT* I forgot to say that Act. 1 turns on pitch.

@Skua Here it is: Sky Slicer Mk. II
@SteadfastContracting sure, go for it
@Skua Ok. Thanks. I have actually got it to fly a bit better and am about to post it. Would you like a link?
The reason it doesn't turn very well is that your control surface (the whole wing, in this case) is really close to the CoM, so it has no leverage. It might be worth considering canards for another version
Thanks @ Misha1004 ! This one doesn't fly so well so I'm working on some better versions.
