Custom built based on first principals - for the next Tournament - Bandit Run. She is maneuverable and fast, however she cannot beat the 'AI' everytime...

Features 5 x VTOL engines (embedded into each other), trust vectoring option (needs to be switch on - Act 1), embeddd wings to create added stablity, no landing gear (obvioulsy), limited fuel, and highly aligned and trimmed focussing on a single axsis.

Check points 10, 17 and 23 seem to be the most difficult, with 10 and 17 causing catestophic outcomes should the plane roll going into the turn.

The rules include no modded engines, therefore the engines are 'stacked' and this adds extra weight and the need for large air inlets.
