I managed to pull a 4:40 in the Shark Tooth race in this aircraft. It's very fuel-efficient, and does have a cheeky little engine angling trick that activates with AG1. I know that's called thrust vectoring, but this is a propellor aircraft, and thrust vectoring implies jets, so... don't want to confuse ya'll. Enjoy! (feel free to remake this aircraft and make it a lil more stable)

@SilverTheDogfighter You got potential, keep trying👍
@MetallicBeef6572 Supermarine started out by making racing planes that sacrificed stability for speed :P
@SilverTheDogfighter I mean, forgive me but isn't basic flying the point of a plane, or at least a function of one?
@MetallicBeef6572 that would be because it's built for a race, not basic flying...

Its an interesting concept I'll give you that. But very slow, sluggish, and the tvc props don't really seem to make any difference. Keep working at it tho, good try👍
👍
@Sockdragger Tried that upon building: when the engine movement is activated, that whole stability all goes to literal hell. Did doing that work for you?
A quick way to improve the stability is to move the wings one block to the back to get more distance between Center of Mass and Center of Lift.
@DreamerIndusturies Thanks! I'm currently modifying this design for another race, stay tuned...
Nice idea bro!

DAM BRO WHY YA'LL LIKE THIS SO MUCH
(for context, this is the fastest any of my builds have reached 3 upvotes)

Wow, you like this that much? Didn't expect this to blow up literally 15 minutes after i posted it.
