The Needle nose MK:5 is the ultimate (so far) of this plane. After some testing I found out that the MK:2, while unreliable was the fastest model. due to its heavily sloped wings. so I took it and modified it into much better variation. I fixed things like the rear wing's bad connection betweein the structeral and main wing segment. gave it 4 more engines to give it the speed it needs to go faster than the average single engine design. and the overall stability, reliability and speed makes this the best OVERALL version. (note other versiosn may perform better in specific aspects). on an ai controlled race through daredevil its average speed through the first 3 quarters is about 850. and once it starts reaching the end it gets up to 950+ until the finish.
I am very hopeful this thing can do well in the next tournament.

@Pauciloquent ok so quck question... how were you able to take my design and make it 10 times better and how can I apply this to all my planes?
@Pauciloquent got it
@Typhlosion130 HERE it is...
@Typhlosion130 Okey I'll upload, It will be unlisted so I'll link it to you and once you have downloaded it I'll remove it... Semi and Flat add drag but it doesn't show in the numbers...
@Pauciloquent also why all symmetrical for the wings? what's the advantage of that? I'd have thought that the closer you get to the plane not pitching up or down the better so having lift would help. so why?
@Pauciloquent just upload it. if it counts as a successor to this plane it'll notify me.
I have made some changes to it, just tell me and I'll upload it and you can look at it... there are a few changes like reduced wieght, more wing surface (now all symmetric), less drag and no canards (didn't need them)
Much improved from the original design!
@Shmexysmpilot what do ya think? :3
