Default RE: knife edge

knife edge is wide open throttle or close to it. The plane is flying pretty fast and only 15 degrees or so of rudder is needed to keep the plane flying level.

High alpha knife edge is around 1/3 throttle or so depending on your engine and plane with between 40 - 60 degrees of rudder throw or however much you can get. It is like a harrier, only in a knife edge. The plane moves real slow.
