I have a Zig Fighter jet that has been very reliable until recently. Just yesterday my air-conditioner belt broke and I had to replace that. And for the past few weeks it has been sputtering just before I hit Mach-8..and it drinks the gas horribly; you all know how much jet fuel costs these days, its crazy. Is there any way I can fix this or make it more efficeient? Should I just get a new jet?

Try disconnecting stuff like the cigarette lighter/vulcan cannons/door lights, and if the fuel consumptions goes down, its the fan belt. [ Scribble's advice column | Ask Scribble A Question ]
