This plane fits the description, it is a lot like a firework skyrocket, noisy and very very fast.
Top Speed is somewhere over 7000 KPH. (4320 MPH)
I advise turning down your speakers or up if you really like the sound of lots of afterburners going off and you want to annoy the neighbors.
I haven't managed to get it to actually take off properly from a runway, but anywhere with some sort of drop off is good, but get on the 'going up' button as quick as you can.
An air launch might be a good idea. :P
It likes to fly down a little, but at the speeds it reaches a little is far too much if you are not paying attention.
Controls as per normal, avoid 'Autopilot', Trim is your friend here and the best way to get it to go up and down if very slowly.
I reckon this is the most.. unattractive flying machine I've made. Ever.
XML'd engines, for size only, no power tweaks at all.
An extremely large fuel tank, because all of those engines chew a lot of fuel. I may have gone overboard though.

This started off as an experiment of sorts for another project I'm working on, but having trouble getting motivated to restart.
I also realised by building this, that it would be 'impractical' to do what I was planning this way as I don't know how to turn off fuel use on the motors and they were going to be 'dummy' fireworks displays, not the main engine.
Imagine the circle on the back, fully packed with as many engines as I could get to fit.
It would look cool at full power.
Looks like I get to fiddle with beacons again and see what I can do, maybe red, yellow and orange ones all blinking at different rates.
