Auto Credit Based on Stingray's Lockheed A12 Prototype Mach 3.5+

Re-post of the correct engine/wing planform of the Lockheed A12 Prototype. (Moved one undercarriage intake only). Only half of launches work, this model tests the extreme of SP SIM limits. --> Launch: Model MUST FLY LEVEL over the grass at runway end, Pull pitch up gently, then return Pitch to level flight. 3,000+ mph at 70,000 feet is normal. If you survive the launch. Good flying!

    @Stingray Thx for testing. A very primitive model.

    On this one posted, there is no easy takeoff. Go full length of the runway, it will glide over the grass, LEVEL-out at low altitude. If fast moves are attempted wait until airborne and around 1,000 mph. Half the time it crashes on me, half the time it flies OK, if you take controls gently. @PPLANESco

    Thanks @hypnotoad This one was a tricky build, I'm sure you'll appreciate that SR71-type replication is very popular on SP, but no one until now has a 3,000+ mph working model. Think I should throw down the gauntlet and have a competition, beat this?

    Yes, it's too dense to land @kingkobra

    Thanks @Rohan The D-2X Lockheed drone did that. I'd need a launch platform to launch it.
