Race Plane w/ Contra-Rotating Propellers (The Slipstream)

If you have the time, drop an upvote or a comment on the plane ;)

Single fuselage race plane with contra (or counter) rotating props: meaning that there are two propellers that rotate in opposite directions. Whilst it's no XF-84H, it's still pretty fast due to it having two engines crammed into a sleek, low-drag body. It also has mock split flaps, which act as air-brakes.

The plane is suitable for the race challenges and is agile whilst tracking nicely too. My favourite thing to do with this plane is to fly through the gaps between the pillars on the bridges :).

    Very nice! My only concern would be that the roll is super touchy. Otherwise fantastic!
