My Rookie II has a P-80 in it and with stock thrust vectoring. I've got it on a switch and usually only turn it on when I'm up high. My canards are active all the time as I'm using inboard surfaces as elevators and outboard surfaces as ailerons. I need the canards on landing. The through is around 25-30mm up/down.

If I get to slow the jet will settle and slowly fall to earth, but not dip a wing. Only way to get out of it is to go full throttle to regain control. If you get to slow upside down, watch out, it will be more difficult to get out of this orientation and you’ll likely need the thrust vectoring every time. I suppose you can do anything and get out of bad situations with a large turbine, but with the P-80 or P-120 it isn’t the case. You’ll need to find the limits and it takes time.
