    well I played the SAM evasion mission with this... I was faster then the missile, so I completed wave 4 one one missile lol this is the best plane since sliced bread... (wait a second...)

    A bit late :P
    Ohoy... I completed the Sam Evasion challenge with a better version. Thanx for the plane @helix. And also thanx @hypnotoad for the improvements.
    My improvements almost doubled the fuel capacity (796 gal) and brought the wheels closer to CoM. The plane still touched 3000mph easily despite more weight. I also made it a bit landing friendly by adding 3 parachutes and airbrakes which can bring the plane to stop from 400mph before the runway ends. But the plane cannot take off or land from USS Tiny.
    Also I weaponized the plane.
    Funny incident: I launched my interceptor, but my plane was faster than it. I slowed down a bit... Instead it hit me.
    I named the plane S91-ER.

    @baconAndEggs96 Start at wave 3 and go from there. I found it is best if you can hide in the mountains between the north and south islands.

    Reached wave 3 and ran out of fuel. Am I doing something wrong?

    WOW!! thanks Hypnotoad!! That is awesome feedback! I will be sure to incorporate those improvements in my next update! Thanks for the 5 star rating! I didn't think I would be getting 5 stars from the "master builder" LOL

    Really interesting use of what looks to be yaw as roll, really liked that, and i was very surprised how effective the pitch was! really great build. only slight tweaks I would make (not a criticism) I would move the rear wheels further forward, getting them as close to the COM as possible so it takes off sooner, and for me, at high speeds the vertical stabilizer (providing the yaw / roll control) broke off, so you could perhaps use a detacher to affix this to the plane, though this would ruin the lovely looks you have created. :)
