New bomber design using the most reliable piston engine I've ever built, the X80 AKA my 20th official piston engine design, fitted inside a cowling for aesthetic purposes. These new engines drive a positive-negative airfoil 8-bladed variable pitch propeller, which absorbs pretty much all the power from the engine. The propeller pitch is controlled by VTOL (up).
- Instructions -
Start in the air, throttle up for power and VTOL up(not all the way) for thrust.
Note that... t these builds are not meant to be good looking, but just pure proof of concept and functionality/performance tests.

Nice nice
@saturn28 That's because the engine is mounted with shocks, which can only handle a couple G's. If you want to get rid of this problem increase the shock's strength or just add more.
@saturn28 Thanks!
@SlowJet Yeah thats pretty small. You could give it a try tho haha
@SlowJet Oh yeah you can do that lol, it shouldn't cause any trouble with the engines as far as I know.
@SlowJet Thanks :), Are those single engine fighters? Because this engine still generates a considerable amount of torque, which will probably tear your plane apart, unless you use two that counter-rotate like in this build. For single engine parasite fighters I would recommend you use one of the engines I used on The Nuclear Bear.
