F-15 S/MTD ACTIVE ver.
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 STOL/MTD (Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) is a modified F-15 Eagle. Developed as a technology demonstrator, the F-15 STOL/MTD carried out research for studying the effects of thrust vectoring and enhanced maneuverability. The aircraft used for the project was pre-production TF-15A (F-15B) No. 1 (USAF S/N 71-0290), the first two-seat F-15 Eagle built by McDonnell Douglas (out of 2 prototypes, the sixth F-15 off the assembly line, and was the oldest F-15 flying up to its retirement. It was also used as the avionics testbed for the F-15E Strike Eagle program. The plane was on loan to NASA from the United States Air Force.

This same aircraft would later be used in the F-15 ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles) from 1993 to 1999, and later in the Intelligent Flight Control System programs from 1999 to 2008.
While with NASA, the aircraft's tail number was 837; for the Quiet Spike program and Research Testbed it was 836, and 835 was used for the Highly Integrated Digital Electronic Control (HIDEC) program. The Aircraft now resides as a display on Edwards AFB

Note:
This aircraft doesnt have any weapon of course (this is a Recearch aircraft/Experimental technology demosntator not a Fighter)
Have Fun!
(I will remove this if the result was same as i expected)

why..why dont the canards work..?
My one and only true love...
YES MY FAVORITE
@Homemade1 yeah I've read your bio
@CaptainSquadronLeaderX can u give me the pic?
@CaptainSquadronLeaderX huh?
@KangaKangaTheRoo i will finish it and use Sorcerer livery instead this IF SOMEBODY JUST NOT REUPLOAD MY PLANE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND MAKE THIS PLANE ABANDONED FOR 3 MONTH
Oh now I see why you would remove this, it’s barely finished, the flight model isn’t realistic, and the front canards aren’t even attached properly so they don’t move.
@ZeroHours I'm a fan (Remix 236 from YT)
why dont you show us more screenshots of the actual build?
@FlightTester also that problem not change the flight characteristic Consider it have no Wing at all
@FlightTester you maybe messed the conection, its littelary have no problem with it, also i fly my plane AFTER i upload it and its still working fine
Prefer one with 2d thrust vectoring
Why would you remove this?
Noice, livery shape is little bad
