Prop Racer mk7

This is my attempt at getting to that 740+ MPH (738 for this one) goal that others have achieved without mods. I wanted to be a bit more realistic in design terms and also wanted to release this when a new challege was initiated. Unfortunately, it's difficult to be realistic with props at these speeds and as for a new challenge I'm not gonna rush anyone. To take off, go slowly on the throttle staying below 40% and pulling back on the stick. VTOL up for braking or climbing. I'm not a great pilot so getting this through the Ocean Speedway was awful but good luck to those who try. Any advice in refining this little plane's design is much appreciated. Please rate!
