50.4k StingrayThis requires full throttle to stay level, it's nose-heavy due to the unique Walrus nosecone, and holding pitch up at takeoff is needed - when you exceed 900 mph it's easy to fly. @Beastmode269.5 years ago

50.4k StingrayNote: just discovered this model will zoom past 200,000 feet and level out around 100,000 feet - the SP "world" sort of disappears somewhere in this zone.9.5 years ago
