Going the distance, in style

I have noticed that there are very few planes designed from the ground up to complete challenges, I am here to fix that. I also notice that any plane designed for the going the distance challenge are slow sluggish rotator propellers or wildly unreliable and inefficiant detacher cannons. I am here to fix that too. The Going the distance, in style, or gtdis is powered by good old fashioned missile rockets that fire the craft up to 445 mph. I do not know its true range, but it was still going strong after 200,000 feet. It starts up automatically, you will have to pitch up until it starts climbing, you may get close to the water on takeoff, retract the landing gear as soon after takeoff as possible. If one of the clevers that powers it get stuck, just pitch down a little and it should slide into place. Once it is up properly and everything is good, just pull the trim all the way back and let it go
