If you ever made a stuntplane, ever "invent" a stunt you love?

[Draconiator]

First some context.  One of my latest builds was used for this.

Rear view - those are shrunk Junos

Anyway, it's supposed to be highly maneuverable, so I decide to take it through its paces, and not only does it fly exactly as I envisioned, it's so small that the reaction wheel in the cockpit makes it able to do stunts that would be impossible if it were bigger.  Here's a stunt I came up with that really struck me as unique.  Starts as a loop, but then turns into a series of tiny "looplets".

 

And I also drew a diagram of it.  Thinking of calling it "The Kidney" because it looks like one on the diagram.

Any of you guys come up with something similar?

 

[StupidAndy]

I came up with one I call the "lose control while trying to do a loop-de-loop and fall down into a fiery death and bankrupt the space program due to all those lawyers"

a bit self explanatory, but you should see it!

Flying a CFA44 Nosferatu replica in KSP, I make an acrobatic aerial maneuvering that I loved. Here's the step:

-fly on a level flight above ground

-suddenly pitch up into 80 degree angle with afterburner on while performing roll as it climbs

-on 5000 meter altitude, cut off the engine while pitch up hard to perform kulbit maneuver so that the nose pointing downward at 315 degree angle

-dive with afterburner on and suddenly pull up to level flight just before it touches the ground as it perform roll maneuver

from what I can tell it's actually called a barrel roll.

[KerikBalm]

no, its called a tumble

[SchwinnTropius]

It's a Jebediah, because any other pilot would soil themselves doing that maneuver.

[KerikBalm]

No, really, its called a tumble, its a problem for tailless aircraft such as hang gliders

Sometimes an important piece falls off the nose of an airplane in flight, causing the CoM to shift dramatically aft. Happens to everybody sometime or other, right?

On two separate occasions — neither of which were recorded, sadly — I successfully piloted the damaged airplane to a perfect landing, flying backwards. Tricycle gear becomes a taildragger, and all controls reversed. It was cool.

All attempts to duplicate the stunt deliberately have met with utter failure.

[icantmakemodels]

@White Owl, try putting a decoupler in the nose?

 

Wait, wouldn't decoupling the nose to move the CoL aft make the plane a lawn dart that wants to go forwards?

Jettisoning weight off the nose to move the CoM aft is the easy part. Gliding backwards with all controls reversed to a smooth landing on the wheels is the hard part.

I barnstormed both hangars at the island runway once.

Took off from KSC, flew to the island and through one hangar. Pulled up, looped and flew through the other hangar then landed on the runway by the tower.

[The Space Dino]

I can't even build a plane. The only stunt I have done is permanently holding down the S key and letting my plane  lift off. When I release the S key the plane eats Soil.

[Renegrade]

Landing this asymmetrical disaster is pretty much a stunt:
 

Spoiler

 

Managed to land it both with and without FAR, back in the day.  It does NOT fly well...  I call it the "OM#G ... no.. left.. left.. right... nose up.. no.. bad... left... argh!  phew..." landing stunt.

(the non-FAR version was slightly different.. I think I took off the little flaps on the front wings)

[FungusForge]

My favorite one was a high TWR VTOL stunt plane that I liked to flip on take-off. Brakes on, all engines on, pitch up, turning off VTOL engines when vertical, then flying off upside down for a bit to get speed before rolling. If I toggled the VTOL engines right I could even manage a full flip from take-off, but that was a bit riskier.

[Bill Phil]

Is crashing into the VAB a stunt?

[NSEP]

My supercool trick goes like this:

Go to your highest altitude, then dive full powerd down and try to suvive.

Pretty fun wow.

[Skylon]

I like to skim over the sea as low as I can as fast as I can

[322997am]

I was flying my f 35 replica and I did a stunt that I call doing a loop around the vab.

[cubinator]

In KSP, every plane is a stunt plane.

[EpicSpaceTroll139]

Probably my favorite stunts would be: flying a flying wing backwards (briefly), landing a cargo plane on an aircraft carrier, performing a flip shortly after takeoff in a supermaneuverable fighter jet, or flying so low I clip some poor bloke's tailfin off (DMP). I have of course flown underneath the various bridges and hangers.

Dunno if I really "invented" those though...

[MiffedStarfish]

I invented a move I call the "Flatspin"

Weirdly, all my planes are very good at it, though none of the planes I've downloaded can pull it off. Probably a fault with designers. 

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

I like taking Jeb on a ride on @Raptor9's "Falcon" jet to do close fountain the monolith and landmarks added using KK. My favorite one was that big pad with the bars making sort of a triangle from the Real KSC in KSP mod.

[Regor]

Do a barrel roll. While doing it roll right and veer right. Stop after one barrel roll

I call it the "holy crap manouver"

 

 

its a flat spin at hypersonic velocitys
