More fun with mini-models. Experimental XF104 has infinite fuel, goes 2,000 mph. CAUTION: Above 2,000 mph the t-tail can't take it, so slow down. Runway takeoff, enjoy.

You got it! Going from the blueprints, here -- the F104 maxed out around 1,400 mph below 40,000 feet, except for a rocket-assisted variant that "floated" without wing/tail control above 80,000 feet (Yeager model), using new RCS additions. . @Delphinus
Thanks you! @ramjet
Thank you @Delphinus This one plays like a kitten at 1,300 to 1,500 mph, the airframe max. It loses control over 2,000 mph guaranteed.
