Noob here, thought I'd try my hand at thrust vectoring of some sort. Please note that I'm not at all familiar or any good at this, it's purely just me playing around. Bugs: Cockpit view does not work (not too familiar yet with XML modding), plane very easily stalls out when pitching downwards, AI WILL crash it (due to stalling). Plus points are --I think-- manoeuvrability and very short take-off ability. The jury is still out on landing distances.

Thanks @CDUflappy. I'm still trying to tweak things a bit, not really sure how much benefit this type of configuration has over a conventional layout to be honest. Fun to play around with it though :)
Much more compact and easy then my vector thrusters.
