I was sure that I built something completely mod free that could easily go 2000mph, back in the stone ages before we got fine tuner on iOS.
I then went looking for her. I found her here;
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/axn0Is/SR05d
Im thinking that if I manage to calm her fluttering (oh, the fluttering) and balance her out, I might throw her at this challenge.
Your thoughts?
@mikoyanster Thanks for the upvote and spotlight! This was a great challenge idea.
I'm really excited to see how she does. She seems to have a weak spot in the aft furelage - a direct hit somewhere there causes the gear to clip through the upper fuselage and she loses pitch control. This tends to result in a clean ground / airframe interface with accompanying fireball. The irritating thing is that she usually survives the crash intact... Not flyable, but intact...
@SledDriver I will let you know. I have a fairly big library of odds and ends from my various builds that has accumulated over time. This includes some quite tasty engines, massless parts, no collision parts, structural wings with control surfaces and all manner of scaled bits.
So I will see what I can cobble together out of that before I come back to you for help (besides which, others might see that as a wee bit cheaty, what with you being the challenge judge and all).
I really appreciate the offer, though and shall take you up on it once I have tried and failed by myself first.
This will be fun!
Me too brother. Me to.
My missus has been throwing up, my youngest kid, and now me and my oldest kid... This really made my day, though. Thanks! @poopatron71
Youre too kind. I look forward to trying out your offering, too! I found the real difficulties came when trying to find a tough sounding word thst started with V. @Alien
I noticed this too. I tried it on my Short Shootingbreak (AC-130 sort of thing) and as soon as you pitch the aeroplane or rotate the gun mount it stops recoiling. Still awesome, though. @Minecraftpoweer
The turbo system uses “inverted” air brakes. Im guessing someone had the idea to put a “-“ in front of one of the code that controls braking force. There are three of them clipped into the engine block. She is completely jet free, sugar free, no MSG and low sodium too! @DemonSniper8
@Alien I wouldnt give praise on looks alone, old chum. I shudder to think how many G the pilot is suffering...
One thing I noticed was that trim was tied to both pitch and roll. Couldnt for the life of me figure out why she was rolling when all I wanted to do was set the pitch.
Very fast too. I like it. Keep em coming!
Thanks! I think this might be my most immersive design yet. You can cruise along, take a look around, look at the view and all without leaving the pilot view. @ChiChiWerx
@SledDriver I have been thinking.

Nicely done, old bean.
Very nice. I have been meaning to build one of these for ages.

@yoshicraze Domo arigato!
@kgv23 Danke!
@SSSvaSSa Grazie!
Touche, good sir. @SledDriver
@SledDriver You're a good man. Well, that was an assumption, but regardless...

This is very interesting. Right after I'm done with the Armor Challenge I'm going to have a crack at this. On iOS. With an iPhone.
@Zippy6 I dont think fictional means what you think it means. But whatever, Im kot going to rain on your parade.
Nice. The rules state that the entry had to be ficticious, but this is still cool.
Wow. This is wonderful! Also, congrats on 10k.
Me too brother. Me to.

I like it, I think it looks mean. Realism is over rated too (smiley winkey face). @hopotumon
Youre too kind. I look forward to trying out your offering, too! I found the real difficulties came when trying to find a tough sounding word thst started with V. @Alien
But the question stands. Did I win? @Franticmatty
Thats better. Balance is thusly restored to the universe. @RailfanEthan
But... I thought every comment you made included beans? @RailfanEthan

I need a do - over... @DemonSniper8
Very nice concept. I like it a lot.
@DemonSniper8 Hold on - this scored higher than the Ghost GT-R?? And I withdrew it? OOps...
@DemonSniper8 Not a contest entry, I'm just curious to see what you think - I think I managed to sort out your issues / listen to your feedback...
@Iamaducklol Cheers.

Then we have an accord. Consider the last thing withdrawn. @DemonSniper8
Nice. I am astounded at how driveable this is. It just grips and grips. 350mph too.
@Liquidfox Thanks! Youre quick!
@DemonSniper8 Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Not really. I kinda ran out of ideas when I got towards the front... @BACconcordepilot
Tick tock @Connster3
@Tang0five Yay! an upvote, finally! Many thanks.
@FGW2014 No need to apologise. I thought the same thing until I saw his post over on the hypercar challenge.
Yes. His entry to that challenge. @FGW2014
Emmm... This is his entry... @FGW2014
I generally believe wheels are for landing on, old boy. But this challenge has got me juices flowing. Im in.
Very cool. Ice cold, in fact.
You didnt try, matey. You succeeded. Bloody well done.

Two and a coo for me, old chap. Many thanks! @Tang0five
Alora!
I mean, cripes! The rock I live under need better cable.
Cant believe I havent seen this?! Bellissimo, old boy, bloody bellissimo!
Nope. At least 150 mph means not less than 150 mph. @sheepsblood
A podium place! In very esteemed company, no less! Great challenge!
Merry Xmas to all!
Very nice.
@Thefrenchdude22 Kind of you to say, but the upvotes - they do not agree.
I was thinking pretty much this. @goboygo1
Not to take away from this model, though. It is a reasonably accurate rendition. Looks nice too.
Ok, wee issue here; the upoer torpedoes seem a wee bit faulty; they detonate on launch.
Best delete them, old chap. Keep the lowest one.
@Tully2001 Thanks! That was quick.
This is awesome. But. Every. Single. Mustang. Seriously.
Thanks! I think this might be my most immersive design yet. You can cruise along, take a look around, look at the view and all without leaving the pilot view. @ChiChiWerx
