My new favorite. Gorgeous in the sky with balanced handling. A lot of these 1000+ mph planes have very touchy controls, but this thing is as good at 1200 as it is as 500. Wish I could rate it six stars.
Description is very modest. Was able to go from south runway to north runway to carrier and back to south runway with 57% fuel remaining and a cruising speed of ~340 mph
Pretty cool plane. The normal version flies well and is remniscent of some of the red bull planes. The vector modded engine is a little sloppy, and provides little maneuverability in relation to the speed that is sacrificed.
One of my favorite light aircraft. Despite looking fragile, it lands very easily when level.
+1This is a god awful plane

Very cool. Add a gun and some targets!
😮
What a trip. Too cool.
Missiles weigh too much for the aircraft. Also,meant pitch forward without flipping.

Nimble this is not. Cannot turn above ~35 mph

Function matches form. An instant classic.
As easy to fly slow as it is to fly fast. A true gem.
Fun to go crazy with
Too cool
Just dope.
Dope
Very cool to look at. Tough to fly (turn) but I love the ambition.
Am I missing something? This thing is impossible to drive straight on water. Constantly spinning out of control no matter how gentle the input.
Very cool, great glide path makes for easy landings
Fun to fly
To clarify, anyone who builds this vehicle is considered a "winner"
How is it that I can drive this straight into the ground at full speed and it doesn't break?
Great build, clear instructions, fun to try to land back on the cart after takeoff.
Cool
Added a small jet for climbing assistance. Very cool.
NO. EFFING. WAY. OUTSTANDING!
What a joy to get flying and slam the bumpers together
Cut right (as per description). I was able to take off, ditch the gear, and land. THEN TAKE OFF AGAIN. Cool toy.
The. Bomb.
Top notch stock plane. Fast, nimble, and durable on landing.
Activating group one makes this more stable in the same way a glass of water makes you more stable after ten beers
All form no function. Tumbles like a drunk twelve year old.
Looks cool. Do not pitch forward.
Very slick and fast. Handles too well, which can lead to flatspins of doom.
Flies a little more like a 402, but it has a very organic feel. An instant classic.
A gem
This is THE BEST combo of form and function I have ever seen
Keep trying approach as a plane, land as a car. No success yet but can't stop trying.
Lol pretty fun. Off the USS tiny, you can actually "skip" it on the water after takeoff. Needs elevator work otherwise very good.
At high speeds, pulling up can detach the wings
@Zing2000 Seriously? After you one-starred my plane for making this comment about one of your "creations"
@Zing2000 At least you did the mature thing and didn't just go one-star one of my planes. Oh wait, that's what you did.
Another lazy example of form over function. Very fragile, easy to lose control. Good looking.
Skeptical at first but wicked fast, handles well, and can take a fairly hard landing. Eats fuel but above 1kmph everything does.
Can't turn, sucks fuel. Looks cool though...
@heflinkw https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/sX6rDX/X-Wing-Utility-Transport made some changes, check it out
This one is top notch. Zippy, flippy, and fuel sippy.
Really great plane. Would love a smaller, lighter version that's easier on the fuel supply.
@Zing2000 I'll try agin from altitude
