This one was tricky because of the positioning of the engines and that I was keeping to the small designs I usually post. This plane should be flown at 35% approximately for the entirety of it's flight for the best and most realistic experience. That said it does have enough power to get to 900+ low altitude flight and over 1000 diving but be warned that due to the shape of the primary wings there will be a lot of lift and the wings will break off at 750+. The real plane would never go faster than 560 so please don't down rate me for that, I never intended for it to be flown at 100% everywhere. This plane has no modded parts.

Edit: There is an accidental flaw with the wheels. Turn off the steering on both rear wheels and turn on the steering for the front wheel to fix.

    @Allstarship I appreciate that you feel the rating is unfair and want to defend me for it. I have clearly stated the flaws of the plane in my description and if the person downloading the plane chooses to ignore the advise then that's their choice, I won't let it concern me. @Stormraided Thank you for your rating. Any amount of stars is better than none, and I'm sorry that for you the plane wasn't worthy of more than 3. The wings do rip off and that was in the description. The nose isn't heavy, the CoM is quite central. The plane has a high CoT because of the large jet engines placement. I have tried to negate this by adding thrust to the front of the plane below the wings and also altered the lift so that the plane levels out perfectly at about 500mph. Above and below this speed you just need to counter with some pitch. Flying at 100% from take off will drag the plane down from the beginning and give you the bad experience of a heavy nose section that you have described. I won't be releasing a new version of this.
