Car engine powered plane, just throttle up, hold W then at 170 MPH (274 KM/H) takeoff, to conserve fuel just press B to stop the engine. Once you need speed again dive down, rev up the engine and hold W with the throttle on. When landing the brakes are amazing and since it's a trycycle design it's faily stable. stall speed is near 50 MPH (80 KM/H). There's a bit of XML modding for weight and drag, but that's to improve the fun factor of the build.
