Auto Credit Based on Himynameiswalrus's 700 mph prop challenge
Entry for the 700 mph prop challenge by @Himynameiswalrus - 100% stock everything. 702+ MPH at 3,000 feet, 720 mph at 18,000 feet level. Easy takeoff and landing. Credit to A5mod3us for the propellers. USE camera 1 instead of cockpit view! GLIDE power-off at 125 mph at landing, gotta fight to keep the nose up, but it will land on grass or asphalt and takeoff again (landings are better when fuel is almost gone.)

No problem :) I would appreciate it if you could check out my entry to the competition too, and tell me what you think...
Thanks! @bskngshrk @Nickasaurus
Thank you, @Noman0rumeral
@@Stingray you worked very hard on this
Thx. I tested a single-prop version, OK but not as fast. 2-props, only, was way two slow. Tri-prop version was highly experimental. I need to tweak the boom rudder and fuel amounts for easier landings (yes I can land it at 125 mph glide approach), but any variation of this design seems to top out between 720-725 mph level around 20,000 feet. @Himynameiswalrus
@Stingray this has to be the most badass vehicle name of all time
Thanks, @Oni789
Thanks, @Delphinus
