Say hello to the "racer 1" one of my fastest and most agile prop aircraft ever.
=SPECIFICATIONS
This aircraft is a small racing plane capable of reaching really high speed (near 800 km/h) while having a pretty good maneuverability.
=SOME BACKSTORY
I was originally building this for a challenge but it had a lot of problems mainly with the engine that was really bad in terms of realism (i wanted the plane to have two counter-rotating props and one jet engine but the jet engine ended up producing almost 80% of the total thrust and so it was more of a mixed propulsion aircraft and less like a turboprop like i wanted. But then i decided to use the in-game turboprops and take out the jet engine and this is the result) There is also a special feature in the engine, one of the propellers work all the time but the second one operates as a booster that is activated above 60% throttle (that's why i recommend taking- off with 30-40%).
=CONTROLS
These are other controls: VTOL down= flaps, trim=trim, AG 1= landing lights

That's all hope you will like it :)
