    @PlanesOfOld honestly in this race. the atributes you want to go for. are very responsive controls. easy to switch which way your'e rolling or pitching. stop pitching faster. start and stop rolling faster. that plus stability is how you win this

    But a 400ft turning circle at nearly 800 is good right lol @Typhlosion130

    @PlanesOfOld yea but when it comes to indie air race. Its not about your top speed. or engine power or having insane every thing. its about having the perfect balance that lets the AI fly the course. which this vehicle does good. I will have to update and fine tune it now that we're having a tournament but its pretty damn good as it is.

    My new planes statistics are better in every category exept weight.... Unfortunately the AI has a potato for a brain.

    @Typhlosion130 I really liked it. It was fast and on point with rolling. What really caught me tho was how the pitch was so perfect and quick. It also could do bandit run AND shark tooth with really is an accomplishment. I give this 11/10 doges for sure :D

    @marcox43 Well this was about the best I could do. this race is complicated in that you have to acutally build a plane within a specific speed zone not just super fast go go go XD

    Its a nice plane, obviously it has a wider wingspan than mine, who was supposed to be a semi-replica. Im impressed at how it handles at that speed, because AI doesnt have the best reflects of the world and likes to crash everything. I'll see what can i make.

    @DogeMaster14 what do you think? :3 (also thx)

    @marcox43 Your thoughts? btw. I didn't mention this but I made it able to handle the speed by making both engines only have 2 propellers. which makes it faster than a 6 propeller single engine but not too fast.
