Thanks to WNP78 for trying to help with speed and acceleration
Panthers4741's fixed speed version here
He did what he could. I tried my best to mess around with drag coefficient and power to create the right mixture of acceleration and top speed. But once again I failed to accurately replicate speed. However, this aircraft still flies nicely, and there isn't a whole lot of pictures or info about this aircraft, so have fun flying such a rare gem!

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that@Mustang51
Man your builds keep getting better and better! Beautiful work my friend!
@Hedero
Good point.
Well then I have to build a cockpit and whatever, or else it'll look cheap. And for designs like my ar 234, I'd have to build a real cockpit, which I don't feel like doing. So I don't know that I'll really use it much.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
Make plane canopies.....?
Yeah the glass is cool but I'm not entirely sure what I'll use it on.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
:(
I wannnttttt glassssssssssssssssss!
Well the new update won't be here for at least another day yet.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
:(
I won't be able to download. Update isn't out on Play store yet.
Well I got the body, cockpit, primary wings, although missing flaps and landing gear etc, and now working on the elevators. I'm gonna wait though for the new update to smooth stuff out.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
What is built so far?
Yeah, it should be pretty nice.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
MiG-15? AWESOME!!
@Hedero cool
Maybe but I'm building a mig-15@ssenmodnar
@Hedero Could you try a J2F Duck next?
@Hedero
ik
Lol none were@switdog08
Cool, but it's not black.
I know, it looks so sleek, that it also looks like an egg lol.@CRJ900Pilot
Well he's on mobile. And we're gonna go into a pc tech place to check his memory on his iPad to see if it's all good or something. Andrew garrison recommended it. And thanks c:@ChrisPy
Very interesting design! Super sleek and futuristic lol
this is pretty cool btw
Bro, I know how to fix ur brothers account... he needs to hit repair under the library, left click, properties in steam. He can look up a vid too if he gets confused. Dont want to see someone great give up over tech issues...
Lol thanks. I'm not sure why it was ever called a black bullet. No prototype ever was black lol.@Alta2809
