Entak, if you see this, don't use this one. I made a better version.

So, recently the youtuber Entak has been throwing around the title of "Most Maneuverable Aircraft". I decided to try my hand reaching for the title. It's notable that the power to weight ratio and lift on this is so high that takeoff from wright airport is achieveable at below 5% throttle. Once in flight, the craft is very stable (Close the gear - they make lots of drag), though the rudder movement is a little funny. Just fly it up and go ham. Was I willing to extend the control surfaces beyond reason, it could probably turn even better, but I'm not willing to do that.

@Tully2001 Already did ther - Go have a look at the XL, or the XL 1P.
@Tully2001 I think your red jay's still ahead, unfortunately for me. I guess I'll have to work harder.
Yes, I do not reall care about getting a title of worlds mos maneuverable plane, but I just wanted to let you know that it is quite fun to play around with. @Xogo
@SUPERSAMROCK I fully understand the potential of mods, but I personally prefer running without them. Makes every achievement feel that much better.
Mods can really help. Just check out my Z-12 drone and you will understand
