The Speedometer uses drag to give a rough gauge of speed, Full Green in the middle is a safe speed, if quite a lot of red is visible in the middle you're likely at a stalling speed, etc. I'm still working on expanding the idea but it works well so far. I tried to place the speedometer so you can take it off and mess with it, please feel free to use it if you have an idea for it, not really sure where to go with the design just yet!

Overall a very nice plane that is a joy to fly, and the speedometer is very inventive. Good job
This is legitimately really cool. Well done!
I love this for some reason I don't know why though
