@Teus The Mari-Cha IV can reach speeds nearly double what your schooner can. I think realism then is a wide target when it comes to speed.

Flies pretty well, once it hits the water (Which I understand is not its primary function), you lose a lot of stability and control. Things like brakes (try the airbrakes on the bottom in the back), and a bottom rudder would make a significant difference. 5 stars though because it just looks so darn good.
I like the ascetics of it. Suggestions: if you are going to make a rocket that flies straight up, make it spin a little - it will fly higher, faster, and straighter. While I like what you did with the cockpit visually that particular part is costly in terms of weight. Certainly a cool rocket, but not the best rocket ever :)
I reconfigured the wings. They were too long considering how narrow they were, and you had a lot of weight on wings only attached to other wings. That said now that it takes off, it's too brittle. Recomemd starting over. The body cokes apart in a weird way that I don't understand.

Can't get mine to show up as a successor despite using parts from your challenge (cockpit). What's the trick?

Absolutely beautiful design. Entirely too slow. Hours of fuel it's true but at 20mph you won't get too far.
I fixed it, enjoy :)
Checkout seabird 3 if you will kind sir. I think you will like it.

Couldn't get a good launch out of it, however, it's some awesome and original thinking. Looking forward to see how this develops
Not bad, I would lose the middle wing though, it's why you have trouble with your ailerons I think.
With the updated software, I can not download this place. :(

Not bad at all. I made a prototype hydrofoil, it will hit 200-225 before it takes off. check it out if you feel like it.
decent. hard to drive - too maneuverable.
Used your missle as the basis for mine, though I changed the color and size. check out my seabird mk 2
Its not supposed to fly, its a boat. ... Boggartbob I am working on a version with weaponry.
Mark - as in third version, it's basically the same as two others I made, but faster and somewhat less stable.
It is cool looking though

Also sometimes over 2000mph the wings come off. The spiraling should make up for that and allow it to continue flying.
Detach 1 - not detach 2. Sorry
