This plane is my entry for The Dragon Tournament
Now if you REALLY want a thrill, do the course in cockpit view, I almost peed my pants with surround sound. It may or may not win, it easily beats the previous winner, but it crashes occasionally
I know the cockpit is in a weird place, but it boosts the reliability
Reliability Testing:
Run 1 = WIN (0:59)
Run 2 = WIN (1:15) [MISSED RING]
Run 3 = CRASH (Dune)
Run 4 = WIN (0:59)
Run 5 = WIN (0:59)
Run 6 = WIN (0:59)
Run 7 = WIN (1:00)
Run 8 = CRASH (STOOPID PYRAMID)
Run 9 = WIN (0:58)
Run 10= CRASH
SPEED TESTING:
Average Sprint Speed: 2,300 MPH
Average Turning Speed: 1,750 MPH
Top Speed: Until The Game Crashes
Reliability:
70% Total
Crash Causes:
70% Pyramid of Et
25% Valley on Ring 15
5% Opponent Crashes

@Chancey21
Hard to say, getting the CoM and CoL closer together might help. But I'm mostly just guessing. :S
Any tips on reliability? @Zkillerwolfe
The only problem is that I have to lose about 1,000 MPH to even improve the reliability by like 15% @Zkillerwolfe
Ok thanks @Zkillerwolfe
@Chancey21
You might want to improve the reliability some more. A 30% chance of crashing translates to 21.6% chance of losing a mini-match against a reliable prop. Last tournament there were 7 rounds until the finals. Fun fact, last time https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Q26hYf/Ki-88 this prop got second, reliability wins tournaments more than anything.
@Chancey21 ok sorry
Woah there getting a little off topic XD @communisticbanana
@Chancey21 like, a split second before pouring out
*Current@communisticbanana
I legit almost peed my pants the first time I got the racer in it’s cur form @communisticbanana
i was racing in cockpit view, and my god, i couldn't take it
It passes validation, and actually the VTOL Nozzle's default scale it 0.5,0.5,0.5 and i just changed it to 1,1,1 @plane918273645
here Andrew says part scale isn't allowed@Chancey21
This has modding in it so you will get banned from future tournaments if you don't change it@Chancey21
The Fov is confusing on the pictures! @Chancey21
Now, that is fast.
Perfectly true, and this is my highest rated tournament entry ever @JohnnyBoythePilot
Its definitely an adrenaline rush! But it seems no racer is safe from the first part of the race - the dreaded pyramid. For sure this will be the winner if it wasn't for the pyramid. This is gonna be a shear-luck race. Whoever makes it through the pyramid safely will for the most part be the automatic winner, unless both racers dueling happen to make is safely through the pyramid.
Try racing it in cockpit view, its nerve racking @CRJ900Pilot
did you do the cockpit view thing XD @JohnnyBoythePilot
