Flight Notes: When taking off with this plane, throttle to 40%. When your speed reaches around 120mph, pull up and throttle to full. Landing is best done at idle, and touchdown at around 100-120mph. Pull back after touchdown to set the tail down and use the breaks gently to avoid tipping forward.

Fluff:

Team Axiom has always been known for creating bizarre race planes. One of their trademarks is that none of their planes have transparent canopies. Instead, the pilot relies on a sophisticated and lightweight sensor system to navigate the race course. This should come as little surprise, however, as Axiom Group is a Zentraedi owned and operated organization, and their alien technology often relies on sensors and visibility ranges that human sensors don't cover. As their Officer's pods and main infantry pods both lack visible canopies, unlike UN Spacy fighters, it was natural that the technology would transition over to their planes.

Blind Faith is a nickname started as a joke by the team's human followers. However, the designers found the name endearing, and thus attached it to their strange race plane. It has become the ugly duckling of the race circuit, and often a crowd favorite, even though they have yet to place in a race.

    @XVIindustries You may submit planes for the line-up, but you have to include a back-story on the plane and the team for me to include it with the others.

    @UnknownVectors Yeah, gotta throttle to about 40%. Once you hit around 120+ you can throttle up to full and pull away from the runway.
