Replica of the GP-5 Racer, this aircraft first flew in 2007. It showed great performance and qualified at the Reno air races, but due to engine problems it never fully completed a qualifying lap. The aircraft was lost in 2014 due to a structural failure in-flight during a qualifying attempt.

I had to make some tweaks to make it match the original speed, so it has more power than the real one.

VTOL = Flaps
