Auto Credit Based on Squirrel's ES-14-2

This is the fastest prop aircraft I have ever made. Of course, this is derived from the ES-14 series of aircraft. Three versions of the racer were made, a standard three surface layout, a counter rotating layout (had four props instead of two) and a tweaked layout version. This is the tweaked layout version. It's similar to the standard version, but has some tweaks with regards to fuel placement, tail fin position and drag modifications (excluding the engine(s) drag).

Update: It got me to the quarter finals, not going to complain about that!!
