Auto Credit Based on Jettison's Sea Speeder

This plane was designed by @Jettison. Originally it was capable of water take-off and landing. Unfortunately, this version doesn't have water capabilities.

I have adjusted the fuselage, rebuilt all the wings, added modded engines and fuel, and balanced it as best I could. The pitch balance evens out at high speed. Use #1 to drop the rear gear. Hope you like it! - JShay

    @GKrollin I'm so happy you liked it! It took a lot of adjustments to get the handling right, so I'm glad it worked out.

    My new favorite. Gorgeous in the sky with balanced handling. A lot of these 1000+ mph planes have very touchy controls, but this thing is as good at 1200 as it is as 500. Wish I could rate it six stars.

    Btw, the reason I tried to build this place was cause someone had sent me this image: http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/nasa_supersonic_concept.png

    Looks way better than what I tried to build originally. The reason for me making the plane a water take off was cause of was having a bit of trouble making the wings stronger so that wheels wouldn't make the wings snap off. Handles a lot better. Good job!

    The wings could belong to a small spaceship, the smkmmooth curved surfaces is what I went for on my greenblur series.of course I didn't pull it off as well as this

    @ahappyape Thank you very much! Ya, something about the styling caught my eye. I never thought but it does look like a flying V guitar! Thanks again for trying it out and for the rating! Always appreciate your support!

    Flies so so buttery smooth - a real joy. Nearly looks like a guitar too?
