Some say that electric planes can't go fast.

Some flatly declare that stock electric planes can't fly at all.

KellAerospace is here to prove them wrong. Using only stock parts and no tinkering or XML modifications.


The Light Chaser is Presented by:

Important! You must use SimpleRockets 2 version 0.6.7.0 and above to load this plane!

Light Chaser is the fastest stock electric plane in SimpleRockets 2, capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 2.3.

It utilizes an all fuselage wing design, with rotators and smaller pieces of fuselage as control surfaces.

It is propelled by 4 insanity engines. Each insanity engine has 2 counter-rotating electric motors at 1000RPM (stock max). Each motor rotates 30 wing-based propeller blades on a hub. The blades are rotated 89 degrees, almost parallel to the wind. This feature sacrifices low speed performance for extreme high speed performance.


Only control the plane with the nav sphere. Nav sphere less control is quite difficult.


Slider 1 up for landing gear retract.

Action groups:
1. Ground Wheel Start (assisting takeoffs) (default on)
2. Drogue chute
3. Canards (default on)
4. Roll augment system (beta feature, supposed to make manual control easier)

    Mine can go faster Mack 4.2 so don't call your plane the "Fastest plane in simple rockets 2". It is stock and the only clipping is putting the motors into a fuselage so it does not look wierd

    @grizzlitn Under water... I don’t know... The only times this plane ever touched water is when I ditch after draining the batteries.
