---I recommend reading the Description---
The PAK FA is a 5th generation fighter currently being tested before mass production. This is an SP version to it.
The controls are very sensitive, so watch your pitch controls. Unfortunately, I forgot to add functions to turn off the thrust vectoring, so I'll make a new version soon with the ability to turn them off.
Activator 1 actives the motor, adding more pitch control(I did this because while it was cool to make it realistic, it made it a bit jerky when using pitch in the stages of making this. this seems to not be the case anymore, but the pitch is now hyper-reactive, so I recommend not touching it unless you want a roller coaster ride in the sky.)
Edit: to anyone with the aircraft flipping uncontrollably on takeoff, remove the front canards(which makes it look better anyway, because the version being tested has none.), and remove the 2 farthest rear fuel tanks, and replace it with the half blocks that were behind the fuel tanks. This will fix the problem.

38.8k hypnotoad@rth1131999 well this is a great job none the less and moreover very clever usage of VTOL thrusters to provide maneuverability and stability. I've always found it a very precise and sometimes unwieldy process but you nailed it here. Appreciate your work. All the best9.8 years ago

4,841 NovaTopaz@hypnotoad Yeah, I know, it's extremely sensitive, as well as it's successor(which improves on this a bit, with the function to turn off the thrust vectoring, as well as using all moving tailplane as the main pitch instead of normal pitch control.). And they modding thing was after I realized this model couldn't fly as uploaded(found this out right after uploading it), then I tested a few things to get it to fly properly again.9.8 years ago

38.8k hypnotoadCrikey sooooooo much control! I had to teach myself to fly this as it's so sensitive. I also followed your instructions on modding it and worked well. Lot of nice touches on this plane, thanks for directing me to it. All the best to you sir.9.8 years ago

4,841 NovaTopazstill a bit buggy, but I'll fix it eventually.9.8 years ago
