Control Freak

[Jefzor]

This stunt plane is built for maximum manoeuvrability in a small package. It excells at reckless flying between the KSP buildings. I hope you enjoy flying this crazy little plane as much as I did. I'm curious to see what awe inspiring manoeuvres it can perform in the hands of you great pilots out there.

Pro's: 

• Very manoevrable; especially in the pitch axis
• Good controllability (will not spin out of control)
• Fast acceleration
• Fast top speed
• Light
• Small
• Short take off / landing
• Can fly at low speeds

Cons: 

• Not heat resistant (will burn up when flying at top speed for too long)
• Low fuel
• Roll performance can be mediocre low speed and high angle of attack. 
• Loses a lot of speed during hard turns
• Can't blame the plane when you crash

 

Notes: 

• Action group 1 = toggle afterburner
• 50-80 m/s is the recommended speed for close quarter stunts
• Turn off SAS at supersonic speeds. If you leave it on, the plane may look shaky, which looks annoying, but doesn't really affect performance. 
• Keep your thrust at 10% in dry mode if you want to get maximum range out of the limited fuel tank. 
• Your plane will overheat if you fly at top speed for longer than a couple of seconds. 

 

Some examples of what you can do with it: 

Short take off and spinning around. 

Flying through hangars: 

Flying through the tunnel

A lot of players forget how much fun small craft can be, and how much they can do.

Yup, small planes can do stunts that you can't even imagine doing with bigger jets.
