As much as the real thing? AFAIK, the elevators bangs less an inch or so, around 50(?) times a sec, and should appear to see airflow head on(?), and alway below the elevators own stall angle to avoid a "departure", an unrecoverable spin, tumble etc, those has claimed a dozen or so F16's. ..another question, is how much slapping do _we_ wanna show? More slaps than the framerate allows, won't be shown, so one idea could be "just show the last jerk when the video is ready" for every frame. > and the aircraft is uncontrollable. ..without a flight control computer (FCC), correct, it slaps air around to keep the plane under pilot control. Orville and Wilbur also did this on their first few planes, and learned the hard way pitch stability is a good idea when flying around without a FCC. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
