(UARC) Taipan Rocketeer
Inspired by some of Taipan's own military prototypes and tasked with making a plane for the UARC, the designers did some neat stuff with this plane. It has no gear, only 1 prop, and flies at over Mach 1 (The only XML edit was to the RPM and a small dialation of the prop.) It is a little tricky to fly with control surfaces but those have been removed for the race as the regulations say. (Add them if you like.) Cockpit peice is housed in the fuselage peice infront of the wings if you need to remove it.
TO FLY:
- Start in the air. Thorottle up 100 percent. Give the engine a chance to get up to speed.
- Go to the locations and re-select the starting location.
- Repeat until the aircraft flies straight. It's capable of flight in a straight line as long as the engine is at full power.
