Auto Credit Based on ElijtheGeat's FREE 5 star ratings

ElijtheGeat made a free rating contest of sorts, here's a plane I've been working on for quite a while now.

The Zivko Edge 540 manufactured by Zivko Aeronautics is a highly aerobatic aircraft. Capable of a 420 degree per second roll rate and a 3,700 foot per minute climb rate, it has been flown to victory on the international Unlimited aerobatics circuit several times since the mid-1990s. The Zivko Edge 540 is the most common aircraft used in the Red Bull Air Race World Series.

Ease the stick back for takeoff, and careful not to roll or pitch her too hard.

    The prop simply doesn't supply the power required to perform like the real deal. I might fiddle with some jet-trickery in the future. @ElijtheGeat

    I'd probably like it even more if the original facts like the 420 degree roll per second, applied to your creation, still a good plane though

    Wow, great entry. I love the plane, and thanks for the background info. I doubt any one will beat this. But the win is still up for grabs until Wednesday night. Again, great entry
