BELL X-1
hello. this is my first supersonic airplane i have built. the original full scale plane can go 1,541 kmph but this one could go 5,000 mph. it pitches really slowly but rolls really good. i hope you enjoy this plane and have a nice time flying it. oh and this plane has a modded vtol engine and a modded small jet engine. it also has a modded fuel tank for longer flight time.
