A true successor to the J-54. taken from scratch this plane uses vtol engines to give it extra thrust and a great initial head start on the runway.
it is built to fly daredevil and nothing else. 1000mph average speed on the course with enough maneuverability to make the turns with a good amount of reliability.
I'm slowly getting better at building planes. however I have yet to find away to get high speed such as this thing has and combine it with maneuverability that can beat bandit or trench run.

@Typhlosion130 Okey I've tried it... wing load seems a little high, Try lowering the amount of fuel... around 150 to 160 gallons will do, and a little more wing surface... try to use structural wing as far out as possible before using normal wing... then play around with pitch control to see how much it can handle at speed then fine tune the roll...
@Pauciloquent I guess the most important question is how can I improve this. originally it did have larger rolling surfaces but the AI seemed have a hard time controlling it so I lowered it by quite a bit.
I'll try it later when I'm back home...
@Pauciloquent I took some of your advice. :3
