TailProp 6.0
This is the 6th version of my TailProp! In this version I made the plane a lot more stable, and doubled the speed, acceleration and efficiency by removing the dead weight. Also I removed the flaps because they were useless.
TailProp is a Push Propeller Plane that cruises at 380+ mph.
Push Propeller Planes usually have the performance of a Jet with the effciency of a Prop.

Controls:
Use VTOL slider to control the vertical stabilizer (not to be confused with elevators) in case the plane starts pitching up or down.
Speed list:
V1 (minimum takeoff speed): 160 MPH
Touchdown recommended speed: 180-150 MPH
Takeoff instructions:
1-Set throttle to 100% and when you reach V1 pitch up.
Landing instructions:
1-Align with the runway and make sure you are far from it.
2-Set throttle to 50-10%
3-When you are near the runway, maintain the speed of 180-170 MPH by controlling the throttle.
4-Right before touchdown, pitch the plane up a bit for a smoother landing.
5-Use full brakes to stop the plane.
keep in your mind that this plane flies like a jet so fly it the way you fly jets.
