Auto Credit Based on Stingray's A-13 Prototype

Replica, to scale of the secret Lockheed A-12 prototype to the famous SR-71. Possibly faster than the SR-71, not proven. CAUTION: This SP model is a beast. 50% of takeoffs can go Boom. BUT allow the model to reach the runway end, then Pitch Up, Pitch down level and climb! 3,000+ mph (Mach 3.5+) at 70,000 feet. Worthy fo a few flight tests, these ramjets are not easy to build. Have fun testing!

    @nickasaurusrex OK I'll check that gear, however this model flips all the time on some takeoffs that have too much up pitch. Gotta keep pitch level at critical low airspeed. I expect to update this, BUT was seeking max performance allowed in SP SIM.
