I was scrolling through the forums and i found this thread, i realized that my Ernest 1 was probably gonna be good at this. So here is my entry: Name: Ernest 1 (Named after Ernest Mach) Max Speed: 1026.2 m/s (slightly over mach 3) Engines: 4 Turbo ramjet engines Craft file:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B97Mpy0UdyRCdHg0eV9Bb3Vwelk (I'm new to uploading craft files so if i did something wrong i am very sorry) Video of me reaching said max speed and landing back on runway. https://youtu.be/ZXf8Y5FHDu8 When taking off you can see i used time warp, this is due to me begin impatient. The plane can lift up at about 80 m/s. If you do wish to fly this craft i don't recommend waiting until more than 120 m/s to take off, otherwise the plane might flip out, fold gear in about now. Once in the air i like to use SAS however that is up to you entirely (but i still recommend it). After you are in the air just go straight forward at full throttle once you reach about 990 m/s throttle all the way down, this will allow the engines to keep going for another second or so until you break 1000 m/s. If you go anywhere above 1060ms the front 2 wings will burn off the causing the craft to flip back really quickly and the speed will rip your wings off as seen here. After you cut the throttle leave the plane to go forward until you reach about 300 m/s or less the start using the air brakes DO NOT use the air brakes at speeds over 300 m/s unless you want your wings ripped off. When you get to about 200 m/s throttle about a third of the way and head to wherever you are going. The landing is quite easy, before touchdown pull up very gently so you land on the back wheels if the craft starts going up just leave it. After it goes back in the air slightly it should once again land on its back wheels then tip the nose forward and press the breaks. This plane can land at around 100 m/s without too much trouble, it is best if you land between 50 and 20 m/s, the air brakes help a lot when landing.
