Of particular instance is this quote from the article:

The T-38 can be flown throughout its performance envelope, from aerobatics to patterns and landings, with barely any use of the rudder. With the landing gear retracted, only 6 degrees of rudder deflection is available, and in the landing configuration, 30 degrees is available.

Like an arrow, the Talon goes where it is pointed, not where it is banked. This means that turns are accomplished by banking in the desired direction (thus placing the lift vector where the plane needs to go) and pulling the nose to the desired point. To lower the nose to gain airspeed for an aerobatic maneuver, it is simpler and more comfortable to roll the plane upside down, pull the nose down to the desired pitch, then roll it upright again.

Could somebody please do an current ENJJPT-livery ? It´s grey jets in UPT and IFF since a couple of years

Otherwise: Very nice plane, MilViz. Good job and absolutely worth the money

I did not hear the after burner sound on take off, but i check the recorder file about the N1 on take off run.

Power levers need to be firewalled (100%+ N1) before the nozzles will open and the afterburner will light off.

First is very easy to fly this bird smooth and good handling in the air.

Small video about my first test flight link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgi28jc5nXw

My total flight time 10 min on this nice bird.

a good pilot is always in training

later when i have more time i start a new video in formation with the T-38

p.s. my wish list: would be nice to see this bird in USNTPS livery

You are not going to believe this, but it is the total truth! You already are flying a real world livery for a T-38 from the USNTPS! Except, it is painted in its original 1958 USAF paint scheme! The orange and white jet is a tail that was later transferred to the US Navy Test Pilot School! I kid you not!

Gunnar may chime in here at some point Thomas. He is our painter, and does an extremely good job. I think at the moment he is working on that black Holloman AFB scheme I found while doing research on airliners.net.. Knowing him though he will see this and do it too.

Not to mention, but after looking at that photo, knowing that Gunnar being a master of using layers, he might be able to strip the markings off the 1958 livery USAF jet and plop on those for the Navy Test Pilot School!

Gunnar could probably work up a masterpiece before lunch!
