In about a day, I built both my favorite aircraft of history, and I built the best plane I've ever made.

Flying this thing is a challenge. It is important that you not throttle up more than 35% on takeoff. After throttle is applied, use FULL back pressure. Takeoff from carriers with full flaps, and full throttle the second you leave the deck. Landing is very difficult, I find it works best with no flaps.

Controls:
VTOL: Flaps
Act 2: Drop tanks
Stall speed: ~100
