    @Engini you could take off from a runway and once you are in the air then switch locations. Could you check out my P-51 Custom Mustang Challenge? Thanks.

    @StealthBomber all of my planes can go to 50,000 feet. I used a rocket and made a location up there.

    @StealthBomber think you need to start over with a new design that meets the goals of the challenge!

    No mods - but can have fuel you can drop, although one I built didn't have any detachers @StealthBomber :)
