Difficult plane to fly, a rocket with wings:eek:

It's seems the CG is a bit aft, from the landing?

[MichaelLevy]

Good observation. The cg is a bit aft. Also, I have a flight stabilizer on it and I think I was fighting it as I was trying to pull up the nose for landing and it kept bringing it back down to horizontal.

Tough angle of approach for that plane, good job.

Very cool jet Michael!

Thanks Dave,

Here is a video of the third test flight of the Su-15 Flagon. Very stable airplane, subsequent landings were much better. Sorry for the poor quality of the video.
