Auto Credit Based on Visify's Proteus - X44B
Important: DO NEVER INCREASE THROTTLE ABOVE 50%
This was the first piston plane ever in simpleplanes to break the speed of sound in level flight.
This design uses very unstable high power engines, not using these correctly can result in an explosion or just make them not work. For takeoff throttle up to about 30-40% (Make sure the blades are counterrotating outward). Then VTOL up slowly to adjust blade pitch, you are now gaining speed.
At 160 MPH you can rotate. While in the air throttle up to 50% and slide VTOL up slowly, never slide VTOL up all they way, but just below the highest notch.
Top speed: 825 MPH

ok
@SimpleMini Thanks
its cool
@SimpleMini ?
bad man
@Visify no problemo!
@Visify No problem
@Flightsonic Wow, I didn't know that, definitely gonna try firing this thing up with that mod. Thanks for letting me know
@Visify It appears that they still spin, and either way, the mod allows it to be much more reliable... may have to do with how fast the crankshaft spins
@Flightsonic Hmh that shouldnt affect it, at full throttle the props are no longer rotating, but rather fluttering and shaking which simulates the "wings flutter glitch" which can make you go very fast
@Visify Yuup, I noticed that it may have been the LimitlessSpin mod allowing it to go further
@Flightsonic Thanks! Lemme guess you went full throttle?
I got it to 1000 MPH...
Nice work!
@MethaManAircraft Hey thanks for the upvotes :D
@ProNano2004 Thank you
Great plane one of the best I've seen that doesn't use engines
@saturn28 Yeah XD
@saturn28 The piston engine explodes.
@Visify @saturn28 Said @saturn28 Can't fix this piston engine
@saturn28 You don't have a clue?
@saturn28 :D
@saturn28 Can you please fix this piston engine?
Try to download it and fly it and you will see
@saturn28?
@Visify Yeah
