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.

@HakkeAirTech Sure go ahead
Mind if I make something using the engine?
I'll credit you, of course.
@CaptBlackadder Thanks bro
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
@Visify oh
@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.
Who is going to fly at sea level?
@AudioDud3 Lots of trial and error
