Precious Metal P-51 V3

This is my quick version (compared to V2.5) of the famos Reno race plane, optimized for top speed on un-modded props. It will maintain 500+ at sea level and go 600+ at higher altitudes. lots of fun on "the Trench Run" and it's as balanced as I can get it. I think I fixed the Drag issue I was having earlier.

30% Throttle for take off. There are flaps on the VTOL slider that help landings
