sail the sky's powered by the sun, glide with the birds. This is a new flying experience. Go easy with this plane, she likes to stall. almost flies herself to altitude. very long endurance, if anyone flying this runs out of fuel I will be shocked and amazed. *Please rate, comment and check out my other contraptions. Thank you*

    I've seen plenty, always do a search if your trying to do something new. People have struggled with the sr71. I think I saw one good looking one but it struggled to fly. Good luck to ya

    Well I'm gonna make a SR-71 Blackbird replica as well as the U-2 Dragonlady... I'm a bit like jacksepticeye in that I don't do stuff for downloads or rating I do them coz it's fun... The downloads and ratings are for after the fun but even then they just extend the fun so yeah...

    Nice aircraft! Won't be suprised if someone is actually trying to fly the plane till if runs out of fuel which seems like it will never run out. Just recommend maybe make it a little less likely to stall or spinout.

    Great long distance flyer. After 10 minutes had barely dropped 2% fuel.

    Try and pick something no one has seen, like my mistel or dornier, sometimes even good designs sink. I had a look at your planes, not a fan of detacher planes. The white knight concept is good, u could develop that into something or do a replica of a cool plane no one has seen, maybe a tupolev tb 3

    @AndrewGarrison use the rudders to assist in the turn, and only bank a bit. It's peformance is very similar to the burt rutan voyager plane. Slow and steady

    Looks awesome, but I have a hard time turning this thing without uncontrollable yaw. It has two v-stabs, but I guess that's not enough?
