Observation Helicopter Challenge Results

The effort that competitors put into their builds amazes me. I have tried my best to be as unbiased and fair as possible whilst judging them. Where two entries have the same points I have separated them by personal impression. "1" indicates a win in this category over the nearest competitor and "0" indicates a loss.
The five (mostly secret) judging categories were Functionality, Appearance, Equipment, Realism and Description. For each category there were ten points available. My judgement is final, so don't try to negotiate more points.

    It rolled to the left in the pitch up, otherwise it flew well.
    The Snowfox has more advanced systems and the HC-119 has a more advanced build.

    lynx should have won It had the best flight characteristics by far. The MIK copter was too hard to yaw. idk how you could give the lynx a 8/10 realism. just saying

    It was removed by a moderator because it was a copy of another user's helicopter.

    Man, that stinks, I came in last, but at least I participated, that is the first helicopter that I have done, and I'm proud of the outcome, I won't keep building helicopters because I'm not good at it, but what I did build, I'm proud of.

    @TheFantasticTyphoon Thanks for the challenge !
    I haven't been touched helicopter building for ages and this challenge gave me a chance.
    Now I'm working on the attack version of my helicopter with new features.

    @Freerider2142
    That sounds great!
    Your entry was by far the most advanced in terms of cockpit design and Funky Trees, so you certainly deserved to win.

    Wow this is Awesome!
    Thank you @TheFantasticTyphoon for making this challenge! Cheers!
    This was the first challenge I entered in SP with the aim to complete, it was really fun and challenging to design something with the time constraint and limitations.
    It was really awesome to see all the helicopters made for this challenge!
    (If you didn't notice, I'm a huge heli nerd...)
    Tbh I didn't expect to win... but I'm really happy I did, and I'm very proud of the helicopter that came out of it.
    .
    I'm working on a Full gunship version with more missiles and rockets, which is a bit crazy with how much this little heli can carry...
    and a Civilian version for underslung cargo lifting, and sport flying. ;)

    If two entries had the same points then I ran a "tie-breaker" based on personal impression and apparent effort. It does not affect points received, only placing.
