Auto Credit Based on Nick161999's proto type 1
Definitely a case of function vs form. I chose function, can't you tell? I got the idea for this build when thinking of Carroll Shelby. Light weight, a lot of power. So with this in mind, I created a very light weight, HO jet. It is designed with least amount of drag and high speed in mind. The fuselage has 574 drag points. On a single un modified VTOL engine, it topped out around 750+ mph under 1k ft. Modified to 3x that power, it tops out around 1730 mph under 1k ft. It does handle as well as it looks. Handling works best over 1000 mph. If you wonder why I chose VTOL over a jet, it is like comparing a turbo vs a supercharger. Do I want instant power, or do I wait for it?

@Excludie Nice. Glad you like it. I've been doing more testing with it. I noticed aa tanks and the destroyers, along with other planes in dogfights cannot compete with it. It was accelerating too fast for the bullets and missles lol
Finished "the dragon expert" with this beast
Thanks :)
