"I know!" said the man at Gloster, "Let's give this thing even more engines!".
This is a civilian racing model of the Cyclone, boasting a 35mph speed increase over the Twin Cyclone, enlarged props and another two engines. As well as this all unnecessary weight has been removed and the control surfaces made bigger for improved turn rate. The top speed is over 725mph, in a dive it can break the sound barrier.
AG1 starts the centre engines, AG2 starts the forward engines and AG3 starts the rear engines.
For take off just let the aircraft come off the runway naturally. Don't touch pitch or trim until the plane is a good distance from the ground.
