First plane I've made where I've thought "that looks better upsidedown". Will do around 1300mph and hold together. sorry about the fuel - its not terrible but does run out quickly. Whenever I used my trusty modded tank, the plane would roll randomly?
VTOL control has been used to add a TRIM control ( needs it trust me)

Please do rate - good or bad - did take a while to cook this one up. All the best!

    @Mkenz thanks so much. Yeah a few of my planes would probably snap its pilots necks if they where real ...... Thanks so so much for the rating.

    @ahappyape On a legit-not-interrupted-by-screwy-camera- note, its great. It reacts to commands well enough to maneuver properly, doesn't overreact, and doesn't overreact. This plane was right inside where I'm comfortable flying a plane, so that's what the 5/5 is for.

    @hypnotoad yeah took me so so long to work out the fuel tank thing. Wonder why ? And yes authros is next level. Probs doesn't even bother with the simple planes app - just writes it all in XML :-)

    @ahappyape also yes.. I have fiddled around with some of authros's designs and still never understood them, the guy clearly has magical powers, that's really the only logical explanation for what goes on....

    @ahappyape Hahahah, thanks hunni buns! Lol. Of all of the people I follow mate, I am always surprised by your builds. Some people impress me, others I'm staggered at, but yours never fail to surprise Aswell as everything else. Is a great thing you do mate. I'm kinda jelious I am totally limited to my mobile, but I am also happy to leave you wonderfully creative people to do the really clever stuff, then I can pitch it later :) also that's blooming terrible about the modded fuel tank! I often fall back to one of I can't level a plane, makes me wonder why I occasionally get an unexplained listing to one side. Thanks for letting us know it was that, as it's always so hard to find a culprit after the build stage is finished.all the best to you chap.

    @hypnotoad. You really are a sweetheart you know that. Means a lot when you like my designs. Defo some mastering left to go. I think I've got to do some more advanced XML editing. Have you ever torn apart authros' designs? He has rotators not even connected to the parts they move. XML for ya.

    You absolutely never fail to impress and amaze. You planes are always worth waiting for, and always have some amazing design and function. Truly you have mastered this game my friend. Very well done.
