The culmination of a few days of work and hours of flight time. The paint was my best attempt at realistically recreating that of the most common picture of this plane. Since the real plane uses FBW, the airframe is a bit unstable when max pitching suddenly. To mitigate this problem, start with a gentle pitch and slowly transition into a more powerful pitch. In addition to this is the added feature of THRUST VECTORING, which can significantly reduce the turn radius and even help in some STUNTS. Really, there are quite a few aplications for the thrust vectoring feature, so don't be afraid to use it. However, any minor flaw is made up for by sheer beauty and performance in all other areas. Haven't managed to land on a carrier. FLIGHT TIME: acceptable. MAX SPEED: 1155 mph MAX ALTITUDE: 30,000 ft. MAX AWESOMENESS: unlimited

663 ThePlaneMechanicNot the most stable plane ever, turning is a bit of an ordeal without thrust vectoring turned on. Other than that, it's tough, it's fast, and it looks pretty cool, it would certainly deserve a better rating if you revised the wing design a bit.9.8 years ago

72.5k Authros@Allstarship When you get the update, you'll be able to link the rotation of the nozzles with the pitch and assign it an activation number so it's not on all the time. Then these maneuvers can be performed with just one thumb as easy as a hot knife through butter.9.8 years ago

15.9k AllstarYou know, @Authros , it was your Su-37 Terminator and its high level of performance that inspired my idea to build this plane9.8 years ago

15.9k AllstarI just pulled up from a 70 degree dive at the speed of 1240 mph below 1,000 ft without thrust vectoring and suffered no damage!!!9.8 years ago

72.5k AuthrosGreat job on this, you finally perfected it. It's accurate, fast, agile and the thrust vectoring ability is smooth and performing cobra maneuvers is easy and fun.9.8 years ago
