Bad Piggies Road Hogs Level R-4 requires a time of under 55 seconds to earn 3 stars, or 65 seconds to earn 2 stars. The Road Hogs levels are pure time trials and, in general, are very challenging. Our contraption features two turbo engines, three wheels, an airplane propeller, and a tail. In the middle of the level, it is better to take the high road. The terrain in this level is a bit flatter and requires a bit less “careful toggling” than other Road Hogs levels.

Alternative High Speed Solution
Similarly to level R-1, this contraption uses five metal frames, three engines, two airplane propellers, two yellow tail fins, and both umbrellas. You will fly this vehicle to the finish line by carefully toggling the engines. Thanks to ianxofour for sharing this ingenious approach.
The three stars in the video below was achieved in 00:45:68.
I got 43.35 using this vehicle: Image Just flies over everything and gets you an amazing time. May require crash landing at end.
@AngryBirdsSpaceMaster — What score did you get with that vehicle?
I now have gotten down to 38.83 seconds.
Another variant of the contraption shown in the video posted by @IanXO4 on R-1: (Having trouble uploading pic, so will post later.)
I found it easier to maneuver with one of the silver engines replaced by a green one. I zoom all the way out as soon as I get vehicle started and cut engine to keep plane within site. Obviously could be faster with practice.

Had to start from scratch.
Did this in 21.92 seconds. Video below.
Start the propellers, activate the left blue rocket, and then immediately the right one (use the icon for the right one). You’re looking to get a nice 45º angle. If you get that, hit the red rocket icon and off you go.
Zoom out to see where you are, and if you haven’t come back down near the end, turn off the propellers to drop faster. It is possible to fly out of the right hand side (at least I think that’s what happens) which resets the level.

@mattog — Thanks for sharing! Have you tried this on any of the other “flying” levels? Don’t have time to try this now, but maybe @f91jsw would be interested?
Just done it on r-6 got a time of 42.09. There’s some off-screen scenery near the two tunnel bits, but if you get high enough it works.
@MattOG @f91jsw — Tried Matt’s vehicle and got 25.21; not as good as you guys. Noticed that you don’t have to start the left blue rocket first. Some of the time the craft lifts off the ground and tilts to the right by itself. May not give as good a time, but a little easier.
Now at 22.24 with @mattog‘s strat. Thanks! On to R-6
Great stuff @MattOG! I improved my time from 27 s with my approach to 22.57 with yours.
I don’t think it’s quite so useful on R6, since you have to clear the off screen obstacles so the extra horizontal speed that the rockets can give is not so much help.
On R1 and R2 you don’t have red rockets and no second V8 engine.
Improved to 21.66 s in what seemed like a perfect run.
I’m up to 28.48 using 4 rockets 2 fans 3 wooden boxes 2 propellers and 2 big engines think that needs to be in the hall of fame!!! ( think vertical in stead of horizontal)
Using the same contraption as Alternative High speed video, I’ve got 43.20 secs :)
Me and my friend Dee Jancter got 26.90 seconds. Go on youtube and search Bad piggies R-4 leaderboard score. Made by Dee Jancter.
excellent!!
nicely done!!
i done it in 42 second
