Pod Racer

597 Swanchise16  8.6 years ago

My interpretation of a Pod Racer from Star Wars, Episode I. I tried to make it look like one while still remaining relatively easy to fly. It's a big nose heavy, and takeoff speed as at around 700mph, but that can be solved with a little compensation. It doesn't have airbrakes, but Group 8 controls the main engines. Switching them off will conserve fuel, (this thing goes through it like a beast), and leave only the VTOL engines on (which you use for reverse thrust when landing). Group 1 is an ejector seat if you feel unsafe, otherwise enjoy! Leave a comment on anything I should make!
