So. Another concept/experiment wing craft.
Flies ok, powered by two engines, a BFE150 and a BFE300 in line with each other.
If you want to go fast, full throttle at about 33k feet should make you happy.
It really guzzles fuel though.
If you want to go slow, it will trundle along happily at around 20% and not fall out of the sky too much.
Takes off with full up elevator at around 198 mph. The darn thing is pretty heavy.
Engines are stock, it is only a little aircraft so it has more than enough power.
I haven't landed it, so air brakes and chutes added for help slowing it down once you have it on the ground.
The part of the spike that joins onto the nose cone is heavy (xml edited), use that for trimming purposes.

Thanks!

Some random info on the wings;
The curve on the end of the wings is made from *LOTS of wing sections, made as small as they will go, then XML edited to 25% of normal width.
Each one is angled in 4' steps.

*Troll counting: 1, 2, 3, 4, Many, many 1, many 2, many 3, many 4, LOTS. /Discworld off lol
