This is the first milestone of my highspeed research. This model can maintain 1320 in level flight at 20000 ft; maintain 1150 mph in a 55 degree climb, and exceed 1400 in a dive. Stable and well balanced. Not for aerobatics or endurance. Detach gear after takeoff. Note: placement of front detachable gear causes gear to impact with engine bank upon separation about 3 out of four times. See AirPiercer 2 for the fix.
