JAS-39 Gripen EDF jet. Will it hover ?

Post by dominicm »

So I retrofit the thrust vectoring unit and a gyro to this jet so could try out some flat spins and hovering...

Although I have no experience RC or otherwise 8O , I did not know that it was even possible to recover from a flat spin except by extremely rare dumb luck. It's interesting to see the technology to recover from a flat spin (most of the time).

That was fairly easy. It's the recovery from a hover I need to master. Just need more power or less weight.
