X-15 3.0

Auto Credit Based on ossie112's X-15 2.0

A slight design improvement on ossie112's X-15 2.0 for authenticity. Max speed without trim and with in-air takeoff assist is theoretically 4,520MPH. From the ground, and with trim, it can reach 3,250MPH. Throttle up 100% and activate group 1 to start the engine. Careful, you get nasty P.O.G.O. when trying to maneuver your pitch at speeds exceeding 3,500MPH.

    @ossie112 Oh this was merely a small propulsion accuracy and small redeisgn for the proper color of the X-15. The Engine/Tail was actually flush with the main fusalage...which willl be improved for version 3.1.
