This is my first real attempt at intentionally creating a platform that is "super maneuverable" IE it performs outside the scope of what is achievable with aerodynamic control alone. She can pull j turns and the cobra no problem. This is not all that amazing by itself. Technically, given Simpleplanes aerodynamic model, you can pull killer G's the faster you go in aircraft that are designed in the "high maneuverability "area but it was fun to work out the balancing of forces and wingloading. AG1 is for spin recovery parachutes. If all else fails eject with AG 7.
