    @JShay I know - really fun. Why does the land speed challenge have to stop at the end of the runway :-)

    @ahappyape nice! You got that so perfectly balanced, it flies perfectly straight after it launches off the end of the runway. And excellent choice for paint scheme 😏

    Managed to get it down to 2154 drag. No real difference in speed though!
