A-10 Thunderbolt II Cobra and Flatspin !!! ✈️ Freewing Twin 80mm EDF

This jet was probably certainly not designed to do this, ROFLMAO... But if you thought I wouldn't be trying it out because it's not a Sukhoi, WELL THINK AGAIN!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! insert maniacal drooling expression here

Flying an A-10 in this way may ruffle some feathers, I get it. But I'm having fun and that's all that matters. I can fly scale-looking too if I so wish, but I just recently got the Freewing Twin 80mm EDF A-10 and I like exploring a plane's capabilities as soon as it reaches my hands. For fun, for science and for safety. Knowing early where the jet doesn't want to go is a great way to prevent future accidents, you see (as long as the plane survives the experimentation, right?) ;)

And yeah, clickbaity title aside, I know the maneuver I showed is more of a tailslide than a cobra, but wait until I get my CG further aft and my thrustline fixed and this thing has potential for some crazy stuff indeed! :p

These were flights 4th to 6th on 'Luna'.
