Sunset Racer mk10

This is my submission for the shark tooth prop class Tournament. It completes the track in about 1:17. It is very consistent and rarely crashes. I think it has a good chance of getting to the semi-finals. I would say it has a 15% chance of winning.

    @TrainsGreen I don't know how much I can thank you for the advice man. Because it can turn just as quick as racing in the Indy air race now.

    I will be making some improvements to this plane for the tournament redo. I don't know how to make it much better though. Maybe I can reduce drag a little or do something to increase agility. I could also probably do something to keep it from crashing much.

    @MrR0botinatoR Thanks! The new version of your plane looks much faster though. Try reducing the fuel in the wings. You should only need about 20 gallons total. Good luck in the redo.

    @Texasfam04 I started with a twin tail pusher puller prop triplane and from there I basically just screwed with stuff to make it faster. The biggest design changes were the canards, dorsal wings, and front prop.
