GA Nightingale
Gandalf's Aviatics Nightingale is ultimate racing airplane based on my classic racing plane Swallow. Like Swallow, Nightingale is very fast and very easy to control, with large fuel supply, but it's also a little bit armed.
You know, most races in this game are quite challenging because the human pilot has no chance at all against a computer-controlled aircraft. It can be said that the computer cheats in this game. So I decided to cheat a little bit in the races too. So you have to shoot down the rival at the start of the race and then you can fly peacefully for the victory... :-DDD
Remember! Almost all of the aircraft I build are set to fly at 20% engine thrust for optimum fuel consumption and maximum flight range. But this one has optimal thrust 17% due to overpowered engine. For a racing plane, some extra power is always needed.
7 is for blinking lights.
