Aero Systems is no stranger to racing aircraft, the Fm.105R series stand the test, combining jet and propeller power, along with high lift and maneuverability, makes for a competent opponent to race against but they were developed from existing Fighter Bomber designs. the Model R.669 was developed from the ground up to be a pure-blood sport and race aircraft. the first R.669 designated "Lucifer's Limousine" by test pilot and experienced racer Charles "Phoenix" Hermann for its suicidal low speed maneuverability at low speed thanks to the forward swept wings. with such an odd gear placement and far forward engines, you'd think it would be incredibly prone to prop strikes, quite the contrary! the nacelles are in a normal layout, but its the WINGS that are offset back. however, this means great caution is required for landings. you must come in slow, and let it naturally drift down, trim is heavily recommended for flight.
