Based on @Jaredis2 DragScore107. Dropped drag from 107 to 83 by tweaking union of port and starboard wings with fusalage. Wing configuration was changed to eliminate high-speed flutter of original.

    @Planetinker check it out I got it down to 74 by changing the cabin and messing with the weight so I can fly.

    @Jaredis2 Check out "82 Drag Points" by ForzaFanlvl4. He managed to buff another drag point off the fuselage!

    @Rugpeersdude Thanks! Sad, but a real world propeller driven aircraft is going to be limited to the Mach 0.7 range which is about 550 mph if I remember correctly. Spin the propeller too fast and the tips go supersonic degrading thrust and making lots of noise. Also the hinged control surfaces will be ineffective as the shock wave moves back on the wings. So its fast, but only in the SimplePlane universe.

    Fastest prop plane I've ever flown! Faster than a lot of the jets I've made. Lol.

    Wow 83! I'm not sure lower than that is possible. Maybe with some mod or something. I don't think mods work on iPhone. Great work
