Max speed: 880 mph (Mach 1.1) by the end of Muphy runway! A brilliant design by Dr. Christophe Banana, the 4.0 was built to break the land speed record. The brilliance is the jettisonable glider, which releases via Action Group . This allows it to relase from the sled and lets it glide back to the landing runway at 110-200 mph, thus saving the pilot! Activate, pull up to trade airspeed for altitude and return to land.

    @ChiChiWerx I deleted my post about the flight controls, I don't want to give you undue bad press.

    @archerj2010, get to speed and activate group 1 to release the glider. It isn't meant to fly with the rocket sled attached!
