Auto Credit Based on Sockdragger's Travis Thunderbolt
The Thunderbolt build by my friend's son Travis, but with its prop replaced by a mighty Blasto J-50 jet engine. Top speed is now 700 mph, but fuel consumption is through the roof. Always keep an eye on the fuel gage!
The plane still uses mostly standard blocks but I had to revert to using a customizable fuselage intake for the jet and scaling the main wheels to size using XML. Again, neither flaps nor air brakes nor parachute, so landing speed is pretty high, however landing itself is easy, as soon as you get the feeling of how to approach the runway with enough speed and not overshoot.
