I wanted to build my own first functional cockpit and this is the outcome of ALOT of hours tweaking back and forth with the balance vs weight. :) A "twelve cylinder engine" with kind of a hotrod look( in my opinion at least.) supported by a small jet engine almost in the center of the plane. Functional controller for roll. Indicators for both yaw and pitch is also visible from fpv. To make it even more realistic the cockpitview itself also turns slightly in the same direction as you roll the plane. It can be a little tricky to get of the ground! I tend to pull up just slightly and then let go only to pull up fast again. It works after a try or two. Release landinggear on 1 for better balance at high speeds(over 400mph) topspeed 900mph. Top speed while pitching 100% is way over 400mph so its pretty nimble to fly once airborne. I hope you guys like this and enjoy the flight. Like? Rate please. Dont like? Explanation please, so i can improve my skills... Thanks....
