Could you make a link or make it a successor?@helikiwi
Here is my entry. Got to 117,000 ft.
The cool this mine is a propeller plane, not a jet.
I tested a few planes and they were really good. Nice work
I can do it without mods but with lots of vtols
Here you go, my entry: X-4B Dagger. It uses all stock, UNmodified parts and engine, but still reaches 130,000', I might add! Just full power, hold on deck until 800 mph+, then pull up 80 degrees nose high.
Yes, pitch up into a parabolic trajectory vs. maintain level flight at or above 100,000'
I assume by zoom climb you all mean pitch straight up and fly
@BurritoAviation, I'll send you a plane later which can reach 100,000', unmodded engines. It zoom climbs to 110,000', I remember from the last time I flew it. I don't think it'll win the challenge because it isn't the coolest looking creation, but it'll get to the threshold without modded engines (the hard way...;)).
100,000 is about the boundary for space. It just has to reach the altitude. I'll allow modded engines.@ChiChiWerx
Level flight or zoom climb? Modded engines permissible?
I'll try it.
