S-3 Shuriken

1,425 Thej611  8.6 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Thej611's S-1 Shrike Mk I

The S-3 Shuriken was developed by Big J Industries as an aerobatics plane. It is yet another derivative of the very successful S-1 Shrike. Even with a much smaller 550 hp engine, the aircraft is still able to make over 300 mph in a flat line, making it a possible candidate for lightweight air racing. It weighs a lot less than the original and carries a miniscule 18 gallons of fuel, but is very fuel efficient. It is the perfect aircraft to use for aerobatic stunts and exhibitions because it has a very low stall speed and is very manuverable.

    @Gmanndo1000 I'm not sure yet. I haven't started work on it yet. But I figure I might get to it tonight. I was just practicing some level bombing, which is definitely a learned skill lol

    @ccooper Ok. I always had problems with these aircraft on the runways, but was never too concerned about it.
