Try looking at my racer and see if you can take some things from that to improve on your build.
@Stewie4582 well like 150 of the drag points are because the prop is 3x thickness, but reducing to 1x is too slow. Working on a fix.
No problem, it's probably best to use the most powerful propellor engine with max diameter and a prop rotation of 70% that's what I found works best
@Stewie4582 thanks, there's not too much drag, though I see your point. I'll continue working on it, as entries fortunately can be updated :)
Good job on this plane, flies really nicely however I would advise you to do as much as you can to reduce how many drag points there are on the plane. This really improves the speed. Good luck in the competition though.
