Auto Credit Based on Visify's Proteus X2

This aircraft can reach speeds of up to 230 mph at sea level, for it's small size, this is a breakthough. All that is thanks to it's two advanced 8 cylinder engines that not only give it a significant power boost but also can endure much more stress and tolerate a higher RPM.

Throttle up and VTOL up for pitch control.`

NOTE:
Engine reliability problems have been fixed.
Engines no longer spinning in the wrong direction.

    I'll credit you, of course.

    I have looked long and hard for piston engines and I can say these are by far the best I have every come across. I Must say you are an amazing Creater in SP and look forward to future work

    @Visify Now I challenge you to make an actual combustion engine by using the explosion of many tiny parts to propel the plane forward. Lol

    @Fjorge Its a term for airspeed notifications. Just look it up it means the altitude at which the air density is the same as just above the sea..

    @Visify Yeah... 2000 ft above SL counts as SL... lol

    @Fjorge With sea level I mean just above the sea (0-2000 ft). As you go higher drag reduces and so higher speeds are obtainable. I always measure speed at a low altitude for comparison.
