As said in the original FX-01 "Owl Mk-1" post, the aircraft that paved the way for the SG-01 "Owl Mk-2" was not of much use for its military requirements, being able to hold on to Project Ptero by barely making it as a trainer.
Now, OSAS has finally delivered the promised civilian version of the Owl as a stunt plane, so you can do your wildest maneuvers in the flashiest way possible.

The Horizon 500S "Owl" is a variation of the military FX-01, with significantly improved maneuverability and, consequently, stability (as a trade-off for the removal of the folding wings feature). You can get your smoke trail going at supersonic speeds and see how many times you can fly under hangars and between colluns without crashing, and if you don't want to risk it, we added airbrakes and flaps so you can slow your pace down.
On top of that, we also gave the HZ-500S a slightly improved cockpit so that you feel more comfortable and under control while making all of those high G loops and rolls.


HOW TO FLY

-All action groups are labeled.
-Flaps: Slider 1 up

-Takeoff speed: 70m/s
-Max speed: ~690m/s (~Mach 2)


I found that the plane is most stable at around 150m/s because it doesn't pitch up or down on its own at these speeds. However, you can use slider 1 to counter the pitch tendency at any given speed.

If you want to lose speed as quickly as possible, activate the airbrakes, put the slider 1 to -100%, and pitch up.


Here's a pic of the cockpit (it's not much but it's better than the one from the original craft)
