Skunk Flapjack

   New video. Skunk Flapjack. Fast, and hauls 13,000 lbs.  (increased from 10,000, by lowering fuel capacity to 7000 gallons, which reduced range to 5,400 miles). Flies at mach 4.6, very stable in all phases, with some minor phugoid oscillation at 80k (EDIT: FIXED as of 3/18/11). Approach speed 195. Includes EZdok profile. I've had it up to over 350,000 feet, where it's still controllable. 

I created this aircraft because I usually have limited time available to fly, so this allows me to fly fairly long routes quickly.

Here's the youtube video:

	Actually, it's a flying skunk! Just needs the white stripes. Thanks for the positive comments. When I'm finished with this thing I'll post it to Avsim in case any of you would like to try it out.
