8.4 years ago
Mach 5 replica. All cockpit credit to @ronyseptian17 . The cold-war Republic XF-103 was designed to exceed Mach 3 using an in-line ramjet. The pilot had to climb in to the cockpit from beneath the aircraft. ACT=1 engages the ramjet on this replica model. Speed 4,400+ mph possible at 29,000 feet. (Use pitch trim for attitude.)

Np!
Thank you, @SteadfastContracting
Thx! (I pulled apart "rony's" cockpit from your post, deleted the throttle bar, and built the remainder from scratch.) This is the slowest of 2 versions I built, it was the easiest to fly. @KerlonceauxIndustries
@Stingray No problem!
