Next of my floatplanes, air supperiority version, fully controlled with thrust vectoring i.e. no elevators at all or ailerons =) Now thrust vectoring has some interesting side effects, as you need to be under power to have control you need to land with about 30% throttle applied, so press the LandingGear button to pop the airbrakes open which slows it down nicely even under power, also the faster you go the less effect the controls will have, which is also a nice bonus. Ag1 for a brake chute, Ag2 for nav lights, Ag3 opens an empty ordinance bay (couldnt make up my mind what to put in it), as engines are slightly above the col you will need trim depending on speed, again trim is on the thrust vectoring nozzles.

    Works a treat, thrust vectorings a real good touch! Thanks for the comments on my build - I still need to do a lot of tweaking and finish the paint job. I don’t know how the thing flies and there’s a unrealistically low stall speed as a consequence.....

    @CrazyCatZe not that long, couple of evenings, took longer to sort the flight characteristics with factored thrust than to build the airframe. Thanks for your upvote and comments.
