SIDENOTE: It can fly underwater. That's it. It literally flies underwater, it can be controlled and it keeps circa 160mph. Just a lil' side effect ya'know. It was not intended to do that.
A refined "kinetic glider" that uses the rotator glitch to propel itself. This time not a single drip of fuel is on board, so it is very eco-friendly and can fly forever. Starting is also simplified; activate AG1 to activate the spinners, then AG2 to launch yourself using the detacher, and pull up! There is NO throttle control on board, so if you want to land, line up with the runway, get very low, and as soon as you get over the runway activate AG3 to deploy a parachute and hit the brakes at the same time. Beware tho; once you stop there is no way to get moving again, because of the behaviour of the movement conservation glitch (if your speed is 0, it can not be accelerated). Its cruise speed is over 200mph, which is 40-50mph more than the KG-1 demonstrator. Enjoy. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
EDIT: also it looks goddamn cool, at least in my opinion
EDIT 2: I hope it is obvious, but you don't have to touch the throttle at all - it has no effect on the plane, you can leave it at 0%

Sounds awesome, I wish you good luck with that.
@Airdude me too tbh, but given it's underwater capabilities I am thinking about an ultimate anti-naval aircraft that can submerge to avoid missiles :D
Thanks, I’ve began work on a few projects since my long break. I’m interested to see what you do with this drive system!
@Jkbrown0116 @Airdude also, welcome back I guess! I see your latest posts are from a distant past.
I think your goal now is to not just have a plane that works really well like this (and still look pretty cool), but have one that looks incredible too. I know I’m just silver but I’d be happy to help at all if you needed it :) @DerekSP
@Mustang51 thanks for that! It is my favorite plane from now on, I just amazed myself
Yeah with this feature, this has become the fifth downloaded plane I have ever saved
Wait I just saw what you said about the underwater thing. I have to try this out
I also like that you don’t stall and crash and burn and die
This is already so much better than the last and that’s saying A LOT. I love the simple idea to get rid of the JATO to. Just fantastic build and it looks sick too. I think I have to try to make one of these now
@Jkbrown0116 btw I just discovered that it can fly underwater without losing control or much speed (160mph)
@Jkbrown0116 and I love that you called it a creature
Already love this amazing creature.
@Mustang51 here is the refined version. It is 50mph faster, looks better, can take off without any fuel, and also is less likely to stall and fall and crash and burn and die
