The armed version of the P-730 Butterfly. It is non-modded and has high firepower, high acceleration, high speed and high agility. Probably one of the best prop-fighters you've ever seen.

@royalnoob Maybe I could make it land on water with float-blocks. It's very lightweight, so it doesn't need many of them. :D
@BRuthless haha ok after all of that
@royalnoob Well, I've tried, but it is pretty unstable in flight with the extension arms and because the weight of the plane is way above the landing gear, it always wants to tip over. Now I've got the confirmation that it was right going without landing gear for a prop plane racer. :D You might add landing gear by yourself, but I wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't upload it. :)
@royalnoob Because of the rotors I have to make extensions for the landing gear. Those look very ugly, no matter how I make them. :D And also it adds drag, reducing speed and acceleration.
@royalnoob No, I meant the reason why you want one. :D I'd use the P-731 as base instead. It's more stable, more reliable and faster.

@royalnoob Didn't plan it yet, but it wouldn't be a problem. Just some minutes with testing. Why would you want one? :D

@SteadfastContracting Thanks! This was actually made without that much testing in dogfighting, it is intended as a racer (the P-730 Butterfly, which I also uploaded). I improved the dogfighting version a little bit now and it's getting quite good results, but I'll only upload a new version after also improving maneuverability a bit, as there are no rings to miss in a dogfight. :D
Why does everybody have to be so good at this?
@royalnoob It is not needed in the Tournament on the Shark Tooth course and also not needed in any dogfight. It saves weight and drag having no landing gear. :D Has to be started in the air.
Where is the landing gear?
