RE: Su-27 L.E. flaps
You are right, the second one looked great! Hard to tell it from the real one, I think just the sheer mass of the FS makes it appear slower. The "Ram-K" DVD has a couple with Pugachev doing the maneuver, it's really an awsome looking maneuver. I like watching it do the tailslide too. I've ordered my first mixer and will experiment with your design.
