Hi all

There's a volcano next bandit run i discovered yesterday, hence the name. I saw it and flew it around with this plane as close as possible to give an in-depth look and take some pictures, hence the idea.

Shortly: I'd like to build a plane capable of drawing circles in the air around a point down to the ground with minimum possible change of speed, pitch and altitude and for the longest possible time, like having an autopilot


This shape is just a sketch and doesn't but very very roughly fit the specs
It gains or loses some 2,000 fts per circle and very quickly changes roll rate so feel free to change everything
Any suggestion is welcome

It's not a contest but successors will obviously be prized

May be something similar already exists i don't know as i'm relatively new to this community
If yes just point me it out i'd be glad to study it, so to say

Possible final outcome are a civilian spy plane, a tourism plane or, for the tough ones, an AC 130 replica, not so important
I'd like to shape it with plenty of cockpits and cameras on both sides

Thanks for reading and to everyone who helps
CYA
