This is my first ARCA (ALL-rotator-controlled airplane), which basically means there is no system's control surface on that plane.
.
Chengdu J-10 (Firebird) is the mainly airplanes of PLAAF (People's Liberation Army Air Force), which is also used by Pakistan's air force.
.
Instructions:
AG 1 and VTOL down for retracting the landing gear.
AG 2 and VTOL for trimming.
AG 3 for afterburner.
AG 4 and 5 are both for dropping the external fuel tanks.
.
The plane has a better performance without external fuel tanks, yet the aircraft itself is not stable enough due to the force of the rotators.
.
Enjoy

受油管，它反了。(￢_￢)
Very well done. Followed!
Beautiful
No control surfaces, controlled with and only with rotators. It's kinda hard to explain, you can download and have a look, which is a easier way to explain. :) @Hyperloop
What do you mean by All-Rotator-Controlled?
