Nice shots X, jets are notoriously hard to tail slide. It took me ages to do it in a 747!
Nice work though ;)

how much yaw axis waggle with it? you're lucky it's only a simulator, only the MiG-29 and Su27(+variants) can do it in real life

Dont forget the F-22 ive read that it can also do it because of its thrust vectoring nozzles...

Nice one X.  ;)

I'm sure other jets can do a tailslide. The main problem is keeping the old blowlamp alight. Conventional gas turbines don't like going backwards. Believe it or not, I've seen the singleton Aermacchi MB-339-A/PAN of the Frecce Tricolori display team do a perfect example at very low level, very impressive. This was at an air show in the UK (either Mildenhall or Greenham Common) some time before their tragic accident at Ramstein AFB Germany in 1988. I remember mentioning it in a review of the show I wrote for my RC model club newsletter. I probably still have a copy of that article lying around somewhere.
