SR-71
500 MPH - Adjusted for me to fly from ground positions.
The actual aircraft had varied modes of engine operation from fan jet to pulse jet .
I tried to simulate some of this with different colors of exhaust and varied engine sounds as speed increases.
Also adjusted some of the flight characteristics.
The original aircraft landed at about 180+ MPH, this variant does not fly well below 100 MPH and likes an approach speed of that magnitude. Landings are a little difficult as was the real SR-71
3 chutes were used for slowing down, this model has landing brakes activated by the dual rate sw. in the down position.
Brakes are also on down elevator, with some brakes on with the stick in the neutral position. A little up will release the brakes fully.
Rotary knob is used for elevator trim, clockwise is down.
Landing gear will cycle automatically at 180 MPH, but the retract sw. will work to keep the gear up when pulled back.
As always ... thanks to those who have provided the physical design.
