Like many, the Lockheed SR-71 is my favorite aircraft of all time. I'm always amazed that such an impressive machine was designed without the help of computers. Those engineers were truly super heroes. I'm not super happy with the look of my first attempt, I will probably take another stab at this later. She's pretty quick though, and very maneuverable. No fancy action groups, the inlet cone position is just tied to throttle. Enjoy!

@Stingray thank you, I appreciate the compliment. I feel like quite an amateur when I see the creations of other users on here. Also, I'm jealous, I would love to sit down for an hour with some of those guys and pick their brains.
Nice build. I've met some of the original builders and pilots of the SR-71, and they seemed all quite normal. Also extremely sharp.
