Easily the most powerful and fastest rotary piston powered aircraft in simpleplanes, entirely build for speed and tweaked for mobility and maximum performance. Please read the instructions before takeoff.
It may not be as fast as the Challenger VI, but it's super stable, and fun to fly.
Instructions for takeoff:
- Throttle up to 85%
- Slide VTOL up more and more as you gain speed, rotate at about 140-145 MPH.
Instructions for high speed flight:
(At 0-10000 ft):
- Slide VTOL up even more, but not all the way. Keep throttle at 85%
(At 10000-25000 ft)
-Here you may increase increase throttle above 85%.
(25000 ft+)
- When flying this high you can slide VTOL up even further as you go higher.
Side Note: You can throttle up almost all the way but only when the prop pitch is neutral, so the engine has to work less.

I wonder where you got the idea for this one......
It swims like a champ to! Drop in the water, landing gear up, throttle to max, VTOL up and you're a dolphin. Works great!
@Visify Np!
@sexylips35 Thanks lol
Nice!
@saturn28 The X8 is an old engine though, it wouldn't be able to put out enough power to keep it flying.
@saturn28 Good to hear! That's the main purpose of the rotary engine!
@saturn28 Yup :D thanks
@SlowJet They look complicated yes but the logic is easy to understand once you find out. In highly modified designs like this there's alot of small tweaks to the engine that make it look even more complicated, but those will not be necessary unless you're trying to reach high speeds and power like this thing does.
