Do you even retract gear bro?

Forgot to retract them if you were actually asking.

Now static maneuverability is a bit different from maneuverability at speed. Your jet has such a small lift coeficcient that at speed it will maneuver off vector well, but attempting to maneuver at low speed will just flip you. With such a low surface area of lift, you won't bite the air.

Yeah I think the maneuverability of the thing has a lot to do with the panther's vector.

Also, is your profile pic a Raspberry Pi?

Looks great!

 

You have induced supermaneuverability

Which is what your plane is doing, Supermaneuverability is relying on forces other than aerodynamic to defy the aerodynamic forces on your plane, in order to maneuver.

I made a simple aircraft that can do such as well, if you want to check it out!

 

The way you do such is by putting the lift close to the rear of the center of mass, and then using the following for maneuverability:

In flight warping of the wing

Gimballed thrusting engines

Powerful RCS thrusters, or jump jets

Powerful SAS units on the craft

 

I love your craft, and I'm stealing your design for how you got the engines on there.

This has almost VTOL like properties with the way it maneuvers and can pull a 180 degree turn at any speed extremely quick.

I believe it is what is commonly known as a "Short Take Off Land Landing" craft.  Looks like you could point it up, slow its stall with thrust from the engines, and flip it down to a landing posture in a short span of horizontal space.

This is the problem with stock aero. Every single wing surface acts magically efficient. IRL, long delta wings like that don't generate nearly as much lift at subsonic speeds, so while planes can pull ridiculously high AOA maneuvers, their prograde won't track nearly as well.

Yeah I have seen f-18 replicas take off from the VAB pad with the gimballing after burning panthers

The supermaneuverability has just about everything to do with the panthers vector, also with the center of lift so close to your center of mass, the impulse of the lifting surfaces is limited compared to it being farther back.

And yes, it is a Raspberry Pi
