thrust vector test

Here is my first design attempting thrust vectoring without using VTOL. It looks like it could deflect the exhaust, but I think it is more so factoring it as a dual horizontal tail. Either way, this thing is fun to fly. Just be careful not to jerk the control in pitch too much, otherwise it will start flipping end over end. If this happens, activate group 1 to use the actual horizontal tail surfaces and with a little effort you can regain control. Have fun, play around with the design if you like, just please give credit where it is due.
