Hi everyone! I'm Chesscube, and this is my jet racer 4.1! this is just a prototype, but feel free to race it against your best airplane on the daredevil course. It's also a pretty nice flier. Make sure that this airplane is in the spot where you can click the box "computer-controlled." If you put it in the enemies spot it wil crash l for some unknown reason. Have fun and happy flying!

@Chesscube OK, now maneuverability has improved a lot, but I don't think I have enough fuel to do the whole challenge...
@JovianPat Making some major progress, I can get through the first two rings of daredevil! Just need to make it more a little maneuverable!
@Chesscube Sorry for the late reply, I was sleeping :P I'm still working on it, maneuverability has improved slightly, but it's still rather wobbly.
@JovianPat I just fixed the plane so it takes off like a whole lot faster. Are you ready for the link?
@Chesscube I rarely use mods to make planes.
@JovianPat yes just don't use any computer mods to make the Jets more powerful. Or anything like that.
@Chesscube All right. So I can modify it as I like, as long as it's capable of completing daredevil right?
@JovianPat do it whenever you like it is just until we're both ready. Take your time. I also will probably need a couple of days.
@Chesscube ok. But may I do it tomorrow?
@JovianPat see if you can make the aircraft more maneuverable. It needs to complete the daredevil course. We can both release our versions of the aircraft at the same time. What until I say post before posting it so we can release it at the same time. Please send any modifications to me. We can work on each other's airplanes as they get better until we both have our final versions. Sound good?
@Chesscube lol I was refreshing my page a lot. So what's next?
@JovianPat really? Did it really work? How did you get it? You responded to my previous comment so quickly that it said one second ago.
@Chesscube OK I've downloaded it.
@Chesscube Why? Just upload it as unlisted now and show me the link.
@JovianPat is there anyway I can send you a download to a unlisted airplane?
@Chesscube You're welcome :)
@JovianPat thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try this and if it's successful I'll make sure to credit you in the description.
@Chesscube oh ok. Btw try making the wings larger, but not too large or they will wobble. And also don't put too much fuel in the wings, and make sure the CoM is about 1.5 or 2 blocks away from the CoL.
@JovianPat can't wait for that plane! No thanks on a successor plane for the reason that I'm working really hard on it by myself. Don't get me wrong I appreciate your help but I would rather build it by myself.
@Chesscube Maybe I can make an improved successor of your plane.
@Chesscube Not yet, I'm busy with my homeworks and
Almost-a-month-development-gigantic-plane-concept-thingy that I'm building now. I have no name for it, so I just call it Lorem Ipsum.
@JovianPat thanks for the feedback anyway. I'll be sure to make adjustments. By the way I'm making a aircraft that is designed to go +900 mph but still has the same maneuverability as this airplane. It is going excellent, but I need to make it a lot more maneuverable.Any suggestions?
@JovianPat thanks! Maybe it is easy to stall, but did you race it with your airplanes? If you haven't I would encourage you to do so, the true nature of this airplane shines best when racing against other airplanes. Remember to put my airplane in the player spot with computer-controlled on.
I like the design, but it's rather easy to stall... I think the CoM is too close to CoL. How about adding some more fuel in the nose instead? (about 60% fuel in the wings is enough). Also the vertical stabiliser is a bit too small.
