Another take on the small nimble jet. For a little extra turning omph, use the VTOL Z or X shortcut. Becareful as prolonged use of the omph can spin the plane during a turnturn. Speeds under 300 also require a soft touch. I added action groups 2 and 3 2 enables the remaining thrust vectoring and 3 turns the extra engines on. This allows for prlonged flight if turning power/speed not req

    @ahappyape Added a performance tweak to this design: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/rJ1dS3/Aircraft-FlexTail Getting closer to your idea of good performance This one is just an attempt to see how many moving pieces I could get to fly in this. Flys well but you need serious speed to not loose control. design: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/v61otx/Aircraft-Smaller-Thrust-1

    @srduval faster - takes a while to move up and down - can be alot quicker.

    @ahappyape more pitch as in faster angle changes (sharper turns) or better pitch control?

    Still 4 stars - good but for me it needs more pitch. Thanks for tagging me.
